Tinsukia administration demolishes restaurant it had raided recently

Tinsukia: The district administration on Saturday demolished a restaurant, which it said was being run on government land, on the outskirts of Assam’s Tinsukia town along National Highway 37.

Apu’s Restaurant came into limelight after CCTV footage emerged in few news channels showing government official allegedly drinking liquor at the restaurant. This was a day after a drive against illegal liquor took the officials to raid the place for selling liquor without a bar licence.

The district administration was quick to rubbish the news report, saying it was a “planned” raid and the owner of the restaurant tried to give it a different twist.
