Punjab taps country liquor to fight hooch

Amid hooch tragedies in dry Bihar, Punjab’s Bhagwant Singh Mann government on Thursday informed the Supreme Court that it planned to provide a “cheap variant of country liquor” as a healthy substitute to wean away people from illicit homemade alcohol. Punjab had also announced rewards ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 2 lakh to informers depending on the quantity of illicit liquor seized based on their information.​
