Keonjhar: Women leading an anti-liquor movement staged a road blockade on National Highway 53 in Anandapur of Keonjhar district today demanding ban on sale of alcohol in the region.
Moreover, the agitating women visited all the shops in the area as a part of their awareness campaign to stop sale of liquor.
The protestors have been demanding a ban on alcoholic beverages and other narcotic substances.
The agitators claimed that lack of action from police and excise department have led them to the streets to press for their demands.
"Alcohol consumption is leading to violence and we want all the alcoholic substances to be banned. Families are being affected due to rampant sale and consumption of liquor," said a protestor.
The agitators have threatened to take the law into their own hands if steps are not taken to prohibit sale of liquor in coming days.
