NEW DELHI (AP) _ An official says at least 16 people have died after drinking a toxic home-brewed liquor over the weekend in southern India.
Gaurav Uppal, a top district administrator, says another 24 poor villagers are being treated in hospitals in the Krishna district in Andhra Pradesh state.
Seven people died soon after drinking the illegally brewed alcohol on Saturday and another nine lost their lives on Sunday, the Press Trust of India news agency quoted Uppal as saying. Uppal could not be reached immediately for comment. The region is nearly 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) south of New Delhi.
The victims were poor laborers looking for a cheap means of intoxication.
Deaths from drinking illegally brewed alcohol are common in India since the poor cannot afford licensed liquor.
The illicit liquor is often spiked with pesticides or chemicals to increase its potency.

인도서 '새해맞이' 밀주 마시고 16명 사망
인도 남부의 한 마을서 밀주를 마시고 최소한 16명이 사망했다고 외신들이 한 지방 관리의 말을 인용해 보도했다.
안드라 푸라데시 주 크리시나 지역의 한 마을에서 이 사고로 또다른 24명은 병원에서 치료중이라고. 이 지역은 뉴델리 서쪽 1600㎞ 지점이다.
한 가정집에서 담근 독성이 강한 술을 마시고 7명은 31일 즉사했으며 9명은 다음 날인 1일 목숨을 잃었다고 AP통신이 전했다.
외신에 따르면 희생자들이 술을 살수 없는 가난한 노동자들이었으며 이들은 취하기위해 가장 싼 방법을 택했다.
가난한 사람들은 합법적으로 빚은 술을 살 여력이 없어 인도에서는 불법으로 가내에서 빚은 술을 먹다 사망하는 일이 흔하다고.
인도의 밀주들은 도수를 높이기 위해 살충제나 화학 약품 등이 종종 섞여진다.
