In a recent statement, former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has appealed to the current Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, to take decisive action on the continuation and enforcement of alcohol prohibition in the state. Manjhi, who has been an advocate for the prohibition policy, emphasizes the need for the government to address the widespread issues associated with alcohol consumption, including social and health repercussions. His plea indicates a growing concern among political leaders and the public regarding the effectiveness of the prohibition laws in curbing alcohol-related problems in Bihar.

Manjhi's call to action comes amid discussions among various stakeholders about the challenges faced in implementing the prohibition effectively. There have been reports of illegal liquor trade and the negative impact of alcohol on families and communities. This concern has sparked debates within the state government regarding possible reassessment or strengthening of laws governing alcohol use. As a former leader, Manjhi's insights carry weight and reflect the frustrations of many citizens who are urging for better governance and effective solutions.

The implications of Manjhi's appeal could lead to renewed focus on alcohol policy in Bihar and possibly foster collaborations among political factions to enhance regulations and enforcement mechanisms. The ongoing struggles with addiction and related social issues underscore the importance of revisiting prohibition policies to ensure they are serving their intended purpose of safeguarding public health and governance in Bihar.
