Bihar minister Sunil Kumar says ‘humanity’ is why Nitish Kumar govt has had a change of heart about awarding compensation to families of hooch victims, but prohibition here to stay.
Compensation to cover deaths since 2016, when sale & consumption of booze was banned. BJP's Sushil Modi says CM made this decision as anti-liquor law was politically affecting him.
Sources say spurious liquor was consumed in 6 villages Thursday. 2 deaths were reported next day, another 6 Saturday. Sources say unofficial death toll could be as high as 22.
The panel said it has decided to depute a team as it is concerned about rehabilitation and treatment being provided to the victims & asked the state govt to submit a report in 4 weeks.
Days after over 25 people died of drinking spurious liquor in Saran's Chhapra, patients, family say 2016 prohibition law has had little effect. Nitish Kumar, BJP exchange barbs.
CM lashed out at BJP MLAs Wednesday when they raised Saran tragedy in Assembly. Once called a 'role model for MLAs', Nitish has been losing his cool in public more & more.
