The honourable chief minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, forced out the ban on alcohol in view of making the state an alcohol-free area. Bihar Chief Minister put a stop to alcohol consumption on 26 November 2015 and declared that all types of liquor are now banned in the state. But has the ban really been that effective? Well, according to the sources, the active networks of bootleggers and importation of alcohol from the cross border are still widespread in Bihar, not allowing it to be a completely dry state. Post statewide liquor ban imposed on alcohol, Bihar witnessed an upsurge in the cases of drug addiction prevailing among the rising generation. While people opting for alternate ways to intoxicate themselves, one of the reasons attributed to this growing practice is peer pressure among young minds. Though there are many nasha mukti kendra cum rehabilitation centres in Patna who are working towards helping people with drug and alcohol withdrawals, the fear of detox and different therapies often stop them from seeking required attention. Also, there are a group of people who feel embarrassed to ask for help for quitting substance abuse. Calling out for help can never be shameful.
