Before a decision is taken on banning liquor in Chhattisgarh, a report will be prepared by visiting other states, it was announced on Tuesday.
The visiting team will prepare the report based on the experience of such states where a total liquor ban has been enforced and such states where liquor was banned but later its sale resumed, an official statement said.
For this, permission will be taken from the concerned states and a study tour will be planned, it added.
The above decision was taken at the third meeting held under the chair of the ruling Congress MLA and the government-constituted committee Chairman Satyanarayan Sharma here.
Sharma told the Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Congress Chhattisgarh-J refused to provide two names each from their parties to be included in the government-constituted committee, it added. The meeting was attended by the Excise Secretary Niranjan Das.
