#BanLiquor Issue Raised Before the Minister Concerned

08 March 2020, Nawadih (Bokaro): NBJK’s network VO Adarsh Gram Vikas Sewa Samiti has organized International Women’s Day and invited Mr. Jagarnath Mahto (Cabinet Minister for Departments of School Education & Literacy, Excise & Prohibition, Govt. of Jharkhand) as the chief guest.

Mr. Mahto has focused upon state’s initiatives for women and discussed about an appropriate educational model for Jharkhand. Mr. Vasudev Sharma (Secretary, AGVSS) welcomed honourable minister and requested him to ban liquor in favour of women. Mr. Shankar Rana (Coordinator, Jharkhand State Lok Samiti) has carried on the topic and charged liquor as responsible for various anti-women crimes, road accidents as well as superstitious mindset of the people. Alcoholism has reduced our collective power as a society and Lok Samiti appeals the state government to prohibit liquor like in Bihar, he said.

Also Mrs. Poonam Devi (Pramukh, Nawadih panchayat), PRIs members, Mukhiyas have addressed the function. Bokaro District Lok Samiti was represented by Mr. Shyam Kumar Bharti and Mr. Vijay Kumar on the occasion with a crowd of about 500 women.
