Bihar Alcohol Tragedy

In a suspected hooch tragedy in Bihar, two persons have died and as many have lost their eyesight after consuming spurious liquor in Muzaffarpur district, a police officer said on Sunday.

The tragedy, the latest in a series of such deaths since 2016 when the Bihar government banned alcohol in the state, has been reported from Lakshmipur, Paharpur, and Harsiddhi blocks of Motihari.

At least four people have died and several others fell ill after consuming suspected spurious liquor in Bihar's Samastipur, officials said today. This is the third straight day that deaths due to illegal liquor have been reported in Bihar.

Expressing his anguish over a recent hooch tragedy that claimed eight lives in the state, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday said that the ban on alcohol is in the interest of society.

At least 16 people have died at a village in Bihar over the last few days, in a suspected case of alcohol poisoning in a state that had passed the prohibition law six years ago.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday expressed distress over a recent hooch tragedy in the state that has claimed five lives, and urged citizens to realise that his government has introduced prohibition since alcohol was a "dirty thing".

Four persons have died in a suspected case of spurious liquor consumption in Rohtas district of Bihar, where the sale and consumption of alcohol had been banned more than a year ago.

25 policemen in Bihar including senior officers have been suspended for failing to stop the manufacturing and sale of toxic home-made liquor in the town of Gopalganj, where 17 people have died after drinking the moonshine they bought from bootleggers on Monday.

My public record is transparent. When I commit to the people, I do my best to deliver. Last year, I announced in an official program that if we come to power next time, we will implement liquor prohibition.
