The Mizoram Liquor Total Prohibition (Amendment) Act, 1999

General19994 sections

This amendment act modifies "The Mizoram Liquor Total Prohibition Act, 1995" to strengthen its implementation and make it more effective in enforcing total alcohol prohibition within the state of Mizoram. As Mizoram is India's first "totally dry state," the law prohibits the manufacturing, possession, selling, and consumption of liquor. The 1999 amendment likely purports to address enforcement challenges and provide additional measures to ensure compliance with the total prohibition order. For the ordinary citizen, this means any consumption or trading in alcoholic beverages is a criminal offence in Mizoram, with strict penalties designed to maintain the state's specially dry status.
