Rajamahendravaram: Prohibition and excise enforcement director P Hari Kumar said that the government was very determined to see Andhra Pradesh as illicitly distilled (ID) liquor- free state and devised an action plan to achieve this goal.

The department is conducting awareness camps among the people and also will use the services of village and ward secretaries and volunteers.
