Orissa is witnessing sporadic agitations against liquor trade, notably by women in rural sector. In Soro of Balasore, most recently, a liquor trader has even injured three women in counter attack on them as his allegedly illegal bar was ransacked by them.
When followers of Gandhiji in the State, who have been campaigning for prohibition, are not opposing the use of violence by certain social activists, particularly women, in attacking hooch dealers, the State Government is issuing licenses in increasing numbers to liquor traders even when their shops are in close proximity to Schools.
