Aligarh hooch tragedy victims await justice

Aligarh hooch tragedy victims await justice

In 2021, over 100 people died in Aligarh, India, after drinking poisonous alcohol.

A court recently found one person guilty, but the families of the victims say the punishment isn't fair.

They received only 5 lakh rupees each, which isn't enough to live on.

They also say that the tragedy happened because of a group of bad people working together, including those who sell alcohol and corrupt officials.

The families and activists want the government to punish everyone involved and give more money to the victims' families.
