Problem:
In present time license for opening a liquor shop is given by the government departments on the recommendations of political leaders. They normally accept bribes for giving that permission.
Serious problems crop up because of liquor shops. Many families are destroyed by the habit of alcoholism. The irony is that no one takes the opinion of people whose lives are affected in the vicinity of the shop. The shop is thrust on them, whether they want it or not.
Suggestion:
The license to open a shop should be given, only when the permission is granted by the gram Sabha in whose jurisdiction the shop falls. This permission of gram Sabha must have the consent of 90% of the women of the gram Sabha. By a majority vote, the women of the gram Sabha also should have power to get the license of an existing shop cancelled
