Bare Act

The Nagaland Liquor Total Prohibition Act, 1989

This law completely bans the production, sale, and consumption of alcohol throughout the state of Nagaland, effectively making it a dry state. It prohibits anyone from possessing, transporting, or buying liquor, and strictly forbids the manufacturing of beverages or the use of equipment for that purpose. Although the legislation allows for certain medical and toilet preparations containing small amounts of alcohol, it explicitly bans drinking these substances. The act empowers government officials to enforce these rules and restricts the prescribing of alcohol to only registered medical practitioners, aiming to eliminate alcohol use entirely within the state.
