Khajuraho women want ban on liquorn

BHOPAL: Women in Khajuraho are up in arms against liquor vends in the tourist destination, saying, alcohol consumption is breaking families. Country-made liquor, especially the variety extracted from mahua (Madhuca longifolia) is very popular among foreign tourists.

Country-made liquor is flowing in this internationally popular tourist destination particularly during this part of the year. As financial year comes to an end, deshi sharab is available on discount.

There is one such shop in Khajuraho and illegal mahua is available in the villages around, said Mehrun Siddique, woman who led a protest against alcohol in Khajuraho on Friday.

"When we started protest against liquor shops, they down their shutters", she said adding, "we want Khajuraho to be a dry town as liquor consumption is affecting families. Desi sharab is not only cheap, its illicit sale is increasing because of popularity among foreigners, who have started staying in villages away from Khajuraho and in farm houses where it is made available."

Women are worst affected, said Mehrun, a member of Shaurya Dal, a government initiative.

According to district excise officer P L Rakesh, "minimum margin money for liquor contract in Khajuraho this year was Rs 5.29 crore. Of this Rs 3.41 crore was for Indian made foreign liquor and Rs 1.77 crore for country made liquor."

This means, liquor more than Rs 5.29 crore is sold in the city which has a population of about 25,000 only.

Mukhtar Khan, a social worker, who also supported total prohibition in Khajuraho said, "Government may be getting lots of revenue from tourism but it should also understand about it's social impact."

More than a lakh foreign tourists visit Khajuraho every year.

Vinod Bharti, another social worker, who was present in the protest said, "It's a deadly combo of eroticism and alcohol that leads to decline in moral values in Khajuraho."

Carrying placards, some female foreign tourists also joined the protest, stating after reports of increase in domestic violence, women in India needs to be protected.
