Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Monday asked the officials to distribute copies of the gist of the WHO's report to every village in order to make people aware about the ill-effects of alcohol consumption that claimed 5.3 per cent lives across the world in 2016.
Talking about a World Health Organisation (WHO)'s report that studied about the ill-effects of liquor consumption on health and the society, Kumar said that "as per the study carried out by WHO, 5.3 per cent of all deaths across the world have been caused by liquor consumption alone."
Work is currently underway on implementing "Saat Nischay" (seven resolves), he said adding that "eradicating social evils like de-addiction, dowry and child marriage also form part of his government's firm determination."
