Tightening the noose brings in more money. Good for the minister.
What he probably should do is to accept the benefits of social drinking through toddy shops and address the toddy shortage. Toddy can be replaced with beer of similar alcohol level that of toddy. Beer may be produced at district level breweries started in the cooperative sector and may be supplied through toddy shops.
nice idea you said it,toddy workers should get job in co operative sectors
