MQmor andum; -
I am sending with this letter a bottle of
alcohol made in Goa. Large quantities of this
liquor are now being smuggled into Bahrain from
.Qatar where it is on sale in the bazaar. I have
good reason to believe that a consignment of this
liquor has been imported into Qatar in cases '
marked Saleh bin Mana. It is sold^in Qatar at
fifl* 3/- a bottle and the black market price in
Bahrain is about Rs.15/- to its. 20/-.
At the moment there are two Indian dhows in
Manama harbour carrying consignments of the same
liquor. The police are keeping a watch on the
boats to prevent bottles being smuggled ashore.
Would it be possible for you to take any
action to prevent the sale of this Intoxicant
in Qatar?
Adviser to the Government,
S.2.
