AIZAWL: Christmas and New Year’s celebrations in Mizoram would happen without alcohol as Zoramthanga government Tuesday decided to declare dry days from Friday to January 14 and shut all liquor shops operated by state agencies.
Zoramthanga’s MNF, which stormed to power in the state, promised total prohibition ahead of the polls. However, as a new legislation would require time, the new government decided to declare dry days in the Christian-majority state.
The decision was made in the first meeting of the council of ministers, Zoramthanga told reporters. (PTI)
