The tweet was posted in the backdrop of the Madhya Pradesh government’s move to run liquor stores<\/a> after around 70% of contractors in the state refused to open their shops fearing poor sales due to the economic slowdown caused by the coronavirus outbreak. The state excise department<\/a> is supervising the process of opening and running the shops.<\/p>\n

MP Congress tweeted<\/a> an image of a woman officer in a khaki uniform at a liquor store and wrote, “This picture brings shame. The Shivraj government, eager to sell liquor, has now shown its disgusting and sick thinking towards our sisters and daughters by making women sit at liquor shops.” This tweet has been retweeted over 2,700 times.

Alt News was able to connect with the female excise officer. She works at Bhopal Excise Control Room but requested that her identity is not disclosed. The officer connected us with Atul Dubey, Deputy Controller, Bhopal Excise Control Room.<\/p>\n

“It is incorrect to say that the woman officer was involved in the selling of liquor. Excise officers were assigned duties at liquor stores due to the fact that the majority of contractors have surrendered their tenders. All women involved in the duty had a role of supervision. That’s the fundamental duty of an excise office irrespective of their gender,” Dubey told us. He clarified that the government order that mentions the date is authentic but the other is not. “Once the tender issue is settled excise officers will not have to work at liquor stores,” he added.<\/p>\n

We were unable to independently verify the authenticity of the government notice without a date. However, it’s pertinent to note that both documents look identical and a report<\/a> by TV9 Bharatvarsh included the carried the undated order.<\/p>\n

We found another image of the same officer and noticed that in both the cases she does not seem to be involved in the sale of liquor. In the viral image (left), the officer is on the desk, possibly doing some paperwork, and in the other image (right) she is standing away from the counter while a man in civilian clothes is selling the liquor bottles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“It is very unfortunate that the woman excise officer is being unnecessarily propagated as a woman selling liquor in shops. One has to understand that irrespective of gender, our officers are equally trained to work on the field. The officer seen in the viral image has served the nation for over a decade now. Women officers are often assigned raid duties and in the investigation of organised crimes. At times women officers have to work where there aren’t any toilets. No one raises concerns on such issues,” said Dubey.<\/p>\n

The claim by MP State Women’s Commission Shobha Oza and Congress party that the MP government is making women sell liquor is not only misleading but also sexist.<\/p>\n

After the controversy over female excise officers at liquor shops, MP State Excise Department addressed a letter to various district collectors on June 12, instructing that only men are assigned the roles of salespersons (\u0935\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0930\u092f\u0915\u0930\u094d\u0924\u093e) and watchmen (\u091a\u094b\u0915\u0940\u0926\u093e\u0930).<\/p>\n
