Lessons learned from the disaster
This contamination in illicit alcoholic drinks leads to deaths has been a global problem, chiefly in developing countries (WHO,2014). India seems to be among affected in the worst list and the main reason is policing issues disregarded by the state. From the plenty of sociologists’ analyses and comments, so what can be done?

Regulated the product and sale industry
The bulk of the responsibility lies with the government, which needs to formulate effective strategies to manage Industrial production to prevent methanol addition. Indeed, the laws exist (eg: stipulated minimum life imprisonment and a maximum hanging sentence in 2009) but need enforcing. In the southern states, the rate of poisoning accidents had declined with the excise departments' stringent (2015). It is necessary to improve the edibility criteria although the implementation of public health policies is a barrier of vested.

Financial for welfare and technological
Illicit liquor stem from the high cost of legally produced and the poor cannot afford it with exorbitance taxes and excise duties. ‘Traditional’ alcohol (homebrew) is one low-cost distilled beverage with poor quality that results in variable concentrations of methanol, which is the main factor of poisoning. However, this type is still permitted in some fewer welfare areas by license holders for making money.

Methanol is the factor of death that causes fatality rates over 30% (WHO,2014). It will be metabolized to formaldehyde and formic acid which can cause tissue damage and death. Meanwhile，high death rates also result from early unspecified symptoms and lack of specialty drugs like fomepizole resulting in a delay in seeking medical attention.

Therefore, Fund may require further support in the welfare and technology area.

Diet health defenses and interventions
“We must use every possible avenue to communicate the hazards of alcohol dependence to the public, including mass media, television, and community" Pavan Sonar(BMJ). So it is humanitarian action to add diet health defenses and interventions which can prevent and alleviate this industrial accident.
