In a striking display of grassroots activism, women from Champapalli village in Odisha’s Ganjam district took matters into their own hands by dismantling an illegal liquor den that had been operating in their locality.
According to local reports, the illicit liquor trade was causing significant social unrest, with rising incidents of disruptive behavior in the area. Despite repeated appeals to authorities, no effective action was allegedly taken, prompting the women to band together and confront the issue directly.
Armed with determination and unity, the women physically tore down the makeshift structure that housed the illegal alcohol operation. They further warned those involved in the trade not to return or attempt to restart such activities in their village.
The bold step has garnered widespread attention as a symbol of community empowerment and collective resolve. However, local police have yet to issue a statement or comment on the incident, leaving the women’s action as the only visible response so far to the ongoing problem.
Residents of Champapalli expressed relief over the move, hoping it would restore peace and discourage similar unlawful activities in the future. This incident adds to the growing number of grassroots movements across Odisha, where women are taking a stand against social evils that threaten their villages.
