Chandigarh moving towards liquor prohibition: Raman Singh

Chhattisgarh CM Raman Singh on Tuesday said that his state has taken steps towards prohibition and as part of that liquor will not be allowed in having a population up to 3,000.

The liquor sale has already been prohibited in villages having up to 2,000 population and now the government would keep villages with population up to 3,000 away from alcohol, Singh told reporters at the helipad in Munger, Bihar.

The chief minister further said that his government has already done away with "Kuchiya Pratha" (outsourcing liquor sale to middlemen) and liquor is sold only from government outlets.
