The Mizo National Front (MNF) government led by Zoramthanga has taken a step toward prohibition by deciding to ban the sale of liquor during Christmas festivities in Christian-majority Mizoram.
Reimposing prohibition, lifted partially in 2015, was one of the main poll promises of the MNF, which wrested power from the Congress after a decade by winning 26 seats in the 40-member Mizoram Assembly.
