Goa govt proposes 'no alcohol consumption zones'
The Goa government has introduced the Goa Excise Duty (Amendment) Bill 2016, which proposes to declare 'no alcohol consumption zones' and fine violators who consume alcohol in the 'zones' between ₹1,000 to ₹10,000. The bill says liquor consumption causes environmental degradation and harms pedestrians​, while adding that "persons... in an inebriated state" pose a "law and order situation".
