Delhi: Nitish Kumar pitches for nation wide ban on liquor

Addressing a convention in Delhi on "Liquor-free India", Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar called for a nationwide ban on alcohol. "Liquor ban should not only be implemented in nearby states but also in the entire country. It was Mahatma Gandhi's wish, he had said liquor destroys lives," Kumar said on Sunday. He also added that his government had started planning for imposing liquor-ban in Bihar from 2011 and had imposed it finally in 2016.
