In a volte-face, the Bihar Government, which had earlier announced a total ban on liquor in the state from April 1, is now mulling over plans to start retail of India-made foreign liquor within all municipal and nagar parishad limits through the Bihar State Beverage Corporation Limited (BSBCL).

Advertisements in this regard have been published in local dailies.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had on November 26 announced that the state would go dry from April 1.

According to sources in the State Excise Department, the sale of country-made liquor would be banned in the state following a total ban on liquor.
