Bihar lifts ban on toddy sale, consumption
Bihar government on Saturday lifted the ban on the sale and consumption of toddy (palm wine) in the state. The government had in April imposed a total liquor ban in Bihar, including toddy. Notably, the government's main ally, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, who had made toddy tax-free when he was the Chief Minister, was reportedly unhappy with the ban.
