The Laththa Commission was a Commission of Inquiry appointed by the Government of Gujarat to probe the 2009 hooch tragedy that claimed 148 lives in Ahmedabad.^[1]^[2]

The deaths occurred due to the consumption of Laththa (spurious liquor which contains methanol). The commission recommended framing stringent rules for the transportation, possession & use of methyl alcohol and adopt measures to control pilferage of methyl alcohol in transit by introducing systems such as electronic locks.^[2]
