Bihar prohibition to punish family |
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is bringing in several amendments to tighten the prohibition law in Bihar, including one that will make culpable all adults of a family if any member is found drinking, possessing or selling liquor from the premises they occupy. Other stringent changes being made to the law include provisions to confiscate property and impose collective penalty on a village or town. He has, however, kept toddy out of the liquor category and allowed its personal use under a 1991 rule — the only RJD demand he has conceded.
