In 2021, IPS Tejaswi Satpute, SP of Solapur Rural in Maharashtra, launched Operation Parivartan to crack down on hand-operated illicit liquor distilleries in the district. It was a four-point action plan that combined soft policing. A year later, nearly 80% of the illegal distilleries in Solapur (rural) have shut down, and over 650 families involved in the trade have been rehabilitated.
