Close liquor shops on major roads: KCBC

Kerala.com News Service
6,Sunday,2009

Kochi: The Kerala Catholic Bishop Council (KCBC) Saturday asked the state government to follow the directive of the central government to close down all liquor outlets that are located on highways and busy roads.

Studies conducted by state government agencies have found that drunken driving is the main reason for the increased rate of accidents in the state, a statement issued here by KCBC said.

Instead of coming out with proper anti-liquor campaigns, the state government with just the single motive of increasing tax revenue through sale of liquor, is causing great harm to the society at large by giving sanction to more such shops. This has to be stopped immediately, the statement added.
