Nitish calls for public shaming of those flouting prohibition
The HinduBihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday called for public shaming of those flouting liquor ban in the State, while hardening his stance against relaxing the stringent prohibition law for those coming to the dry State from elsewhere. Addressing a gathering of women’s self-help groups ‘Jeevika’, Mr. Kumar said, “Don’t come to Bihar if you find the ban inconvenient.” Reiterating that relaxing the ban for visitors from outside the State was out of question, the Chief Minister claimed his decision to impose prohibition was admired widely and he was invited by advocacy groups in U.P. Reform campaign Mr. Kumar is on a State-wide social reform campaign launched last week to galvanise public opinion against drinking, dowry and child marriage. Mr. Kumar also held forth on ill-effects of child marriage on the physical and mental well-being of girls and asked people of the State to follow his example in discouraging dowry.
