Village bids goodbye to liquor in Nalgonda village

Upset over their husbands frittering away hard-earned money for boozing, women of Narammagudem village in Nalgonda district have launched a war against liquor. The women have banned the sale and consumption of the liquor. 

The women have decided to levy a fine of Rs 10000 on anyone caught drinking. They also made the panchayat pass a resolution against setting up a liquor shop in the village. 

This diktat came into force after the women saw their homes being destroyed and women and children being beaten by the excessive boozing. They wanted to put an end to men going astray and picking up quarrels.

Thanks to the women's resolve, liquor is not sold in the village. Last week, the women set on fire a country liquor shop in the village. The men have stopped consuming liquor. 

Now the village and women are at peace in this village.
