Adulterated toddy has turned into a health emergency in Telangana

Adulterated toddy, a traditional alcoholic beverage, has become a significant health crisis in Telangana, with approximately 95% of the toddy sold containing dangerous sedatives like alprazolam. Despite limited toddy trees in major regions, numerous shops operate, indicating widespread adulteration. Officials are urging immediate action, comparing the sale of spiked toddy to narcotics trafficking, especially after previous raids revealed similar issues.
