Jharkhand tribal women launch anti liquor campaign

Hundreds of tribal women in Jharkhand's Lohardaga village launched an anti liquor campaign on Monday to make their village hooch free.

The tribal women went on a rampage to destroy the material used to produce country-made liquor in the villages.

An anti liquor tribal activist, Malti Devi said, "The campaign has been launched to make the state addiction free."

Earlier, in a parallel movement in 1991, women from the villages of Andhra Pradesh addressed the growing alcohol dependency among men and the consequent domestic abuse.
