Bihar makes changes to its Prohibition Law. Find out what it is

• The Bihar Cabinet has approved changes to the state’s liquor prohibition law to make it less stringent.

• These changes primarily focus on making the law less strict for first time offenders and those caught carrying alcohol in lesser quantities in smaller non-commercial vehicles.

• The law was enforced in April 2016, banning the manufacturing, sale, and consumption of liquor.

• The new amendments propose that small non-commercial vehicles caught carrying small quantities of alcohol can be released after penalties are imposed.
