Patna: Prohibition in Bihar has found an echo in the ongoing Durga Puja too with many Puja pandals across the state depicting the ill effects of alcohol to create public awareness against liquor consumption.
The depiction of strong message of prohibition at Puja pandals would make Chief Minister Nitish Kumar happy as he has always stressed on creating ‘jan chetna’ (public awareness) to make the liquor ban successful.
A Puja pandal at Purnea has a message written on the top of its entrance gate in favour of prohibition.
“Sharab bandi se hogi samaj ki khushali (prohibition will usher the state into happiness),” reads the message.
Two big cut outs of popular liquor brand bottles by the side of this pandal have slogans written on them in favour of prohibition.
