Will give ₹4 lakh but...: Bihar CM on ex gratia for hooch tragedy victims' kin

Hindustan Times  

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday announced to pay ₹4 lakh for the kin of victims who died in the hooch tragedy in Bihar’s East Champaran district only if the families provided in writing that they were in favour of Bihar's alcohol ban. The Opposition parties in Bihar including the Bharatiya Janata Party have criticised the Nitish Kumar-led government for not being able to control hooch tragedies. We'll provide ₹4 lakhs to the families of the deceased, from CM relief fund but they should provide in writing that they are in favour of alcohol ban in the state and that they're against drinking alcohol.” The Nitish Kumar government had banned the sale and consumption of alcohol in Bihar in 2016. Had the government learned lessons from the Saran hooch tragedy and taken prompt action, such a situation would not have arisen.” In December last year after the hooch tragedy in Bihar's Saran district, Nitish Kumar had said that the tragedy was an examble of how if drinking alcohol leads to death.
