Last year the Manipur government issued a public notice which mentioned that opinion and views on the state government’s decision for lifting the prohibition from the state of Manipur are invited from all Civil Society organisations, NGOs and individuals. In October last year Manipur Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh said that the government will come up with a white paper on liquor legalisation in the state. The state cabinet had earlier decided to partially lift the three-decade old prohibition on liquor consumption.
