PatnaDaily Kumar was speaking at a review session of many departments in Patna on Monday. “Police in Bihar have taken the oath to never consume alcoholic beverage. If they are caught drinking, appropriate disciplinary actions would be taken which will lead to their immediate dismissal from the job,” he said. This threat has been made by the Chief Minister dozens, if not hundreds of times, since he unilaterally imposed prohibition in the state in 2015. The Chief Minister further said that the government was taking proper action against those who were found illegally involved in selling alcohol. “We are handing them tough punishments and have also asked our police department to publicize their name and punishment to instill a fear in those who may be thinking of breaking the law. We had printed phone numbers of police stations on each electricity pole so people could report a drunk person or alcohol activities in their area,” he said.
