Drunker's own country

Liquor consumption rate is increasing in Kerala.A small potion of Government revenue is from licence for bar,Toddy shop and sale of foreign liquor through Beverages corporation outlets.Honourable High court asked Government ,can Government by law reduce the working hours of bars ,so as to reduce liquor consumption in early morning as bed-coffee.But Government had different opinion.

              In Kerala,sweet Toddy,fresh liquor taking from coconut tree,can drink not harmful to health.But in Toddy shops, as the quantity of this sweet toddy is too low ,some artificial toddy is supplying.This artificial toddy contains spirit ans other materials ,harmful to health.If the ratio of these harmful materials is increased,death may happen to the drinking people.Then the same Government will give money to the dead one's family as compensation.
                          
                  In Kerala mostly the daily wages group are the main consumers of toddy.They get nearly Rs.500/day,they spend more of their wages for toddy and their family members had to suffer.The remedy is to stop toddy shops step by step.Then there is a statement from political party that ,the persons in toddy shops will lose their job.
  
                   Any Government will not take interest to stop the toddy shop and giving bar license because they get crores of money from this business.In festival days like Onam,X-mas and even harthal days crores of money is getting to exice department by the sale of foreign liquor only through beverages corperation.The visual media gives flash news about this in each district.But now the exice minister banned these type of news in medias.

                   Last day Asianet news channel reported that even plus two students gets liquor from beverages outlets without any questioning.There is lay that belaw 21 ages,no supply of liquor.But the news channsel reported that the students ,who worked for channels got liquor from many outlets at Trivandrum.When channel reported this ,the exice minister said he will have an enquory and will take action against those who supplied liquor to the young one.After more than a week,no action taken.
     Who is responsibile for this?All parents,teachers,Government all can take action to reduce this liquor consumption.Otherwise God's own country will become drunker's own country.
