1. Despite liquor ban policy in Bihar and Gujarat, we have had liquor raids conducted by the administration to catch hold of the unscrupopous elements of the society who deal with liquor. So a comprehensive liquor policy that refocuses on awareness is required
2/ Liquor policy is complex issue, recently with Supreme court guidelines to ban liquor sale within 500 m of national highways have evoke complex responss from toddy shops that are loacted within the range. It is claimed taht toddy has 8% alcohol and so it does not qualify to be banned as per supreme court guidelines. Banning them, shakes the shopkeepers whose family is dependent on them; which is disheartening. Hence, a liquor policy that regulates the right product with right intent is needed
3. Rehabilitation centre is also required. Why we can not take examples from Phillipines, where the president of the nation has launched nation waide campaign to end youth drugs menace. Liquor is similar to drugs. International help will be required to formulate a comprehensive liquor policy on rehabilitation
4. Directive principles of state policy also aim for stopping intoxicating drinks in Art 47. The state can frame suitable laws and policy to implement this directive
5. Local self government can help a lot in achieving this objective, because sale of liquor can be clearly monitored by these institutions through a steering committee formed by the municipal commissioner in an urban area and zilla parishad chairman in a rural area
