Banlotwa has become the first 'alcohol-free' village in Ranchi district and Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghuvar Das has lauded the residents for achieving this feat, a district official said.
The chief minister also gave Rs 1 lakh cash to the village head of Banlotwa, following his announcement two years ago that any village becoming alcohol-free would be given the money for its development, the official said.
"The people of Banlotwa have joined hands to make the village 'nasa mukt' (alcohol-free). Even the state government is working with such an aim and willpower. We want to ensure greater participation of the people," Das said at a programme in the village yesterday.
