We are not urging the government to abolish it outright but only to regulate it in phases,” he said. “We have made several representations to all the authorities concerned, including Chief Minister N. Chandra Babu Naidu, seeking an early decision to regulate the production, sale, distribution and consumption of alcohol in the State. She said that the NGO had approached the Supreme Court against the liquor menace but the petition was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. “We are planning to move the Hyderabad High Court for necessary action, if the State government does not act on our representation,” she said. The government should not look at the sale of liquor merely as a source of revenue but also think of the countless families that are being ruined due to addition to alcohol, Chaitanya Sravanthi president Shirin Rahman has said.
