<h1>Mizoram to Amend Liquor Act, Allowing Local Wine and Beer Sales; Hard Liquor Ban Stays Post-Church Consultations</h1> The Zoram People's Movement government in Mizoram plans to introduce a bill to amend the Mizoram Liquor (Prohibition) Act, 2019, allowing the sale of wine and beer made from locally produced fruits and rice. Despite this amendment, the government will maintain the ban on hard liquor sales. The decision follows consultations with local churches, which have agreed to the proposal. The amendment aims to boost revenue in the state, which has limited income sources. Mizoram has a history of stringent prohibition laws, with the current prohibition reimposed in 2019 by the previous administration.
