MP to hold survey to monitor crimes due to liquor addiction

The Madhya Pradesh government has decided to conduct a survey on increase in crime tendencies due to liquor addiction in the state.
"Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has issued directives to hold a survey on crime tendencies due to liquor addiction, in reference to Bihar, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh," said a public relations department official today while informing about the yesterday's high level meeting of police officials with the chief minister.
"Chouhan said that stern decisions would be taken after the study," the official added.
He informed that the chief minister held this meeting to inform the police officials about the priorities of the state government during 2017.

Bihar and Gujarat are among a few states of the country where the liquor is prohibited.
Earlier during ongoing 'Namami Devi Narmade - Seva Yatra,' Chouhan had announced to close liquor shops from the next financial year in towns and villages on the banks of river Narmada.
The state government in co-operation with the citizens is holding this 'Yatra' for creating awareness about the conservation of river Narmada.
Chouhan was also administering the oath of de-addiction in the villages and towns where the Yatra has been passing through.
