Rajasthan village votes to become liquor-free
Kachhabali village in Rajasthan’s Rajsamand district on Tuesday became the first liquor-free village in the state after its residents voted in support of shutting down the only liquor shop in their panchayat. Over 94% of the 2,049 voters, out of a total of 2,886 residents, voted in favour of alcohol prohibition. This comes after anti-liquor campaigning by the village's women.
