Mass Alcohol Poisoning

As many as 45 tea plantation workers died on Sunday, pushing the death count in Assam's worst mass alcohol poisoning case in years beyond 143. At least 200 others - 17 of them critical - are still being treated at hospitals across the state, news agency AFP quoted police as saying.

Thirty-four people have now died after drinking toxic home-made liquor on Christmas Eve in central Pakistan, officials said on Wednesday, one of the deadliest cases of mass alcohol poisoning in the country.

Toxic homemade liquor has killed nearly 100 slum dwellers in Mumbai, and nearly 45 people are in hospital after the mass alcohol poisoning, said the police.
