Cancer Awareness Society hails Bihar's new liquor ban law
The Cancer Awareness Society, an advocacy group, hailed the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government's new law on liquor prohibition, which was enforced from October 2. "Bihar...has initiated a historic step which deserves praise," the society said. The new legislation, with harsher provisions, was implemented days after the Patna High Court quashed the state's earlier order on the alcohol ban.
