Nagaland’s 1989 alcohol ban is under scrutiny for failing to reduce use, fueling black markets and addiction, prompting calls for regulated, health-focused reform.
Nagaland’s Liquor Total Prohibition Act, enacted in 1989, faces growing scrutiny as critics, including the Dimapur Naga Students’ Union, argue it has failed to curb alcohol use, instead fueling a black market and worsening substance abuse, with over 600,000 users reported, including thousands of children and women.
While religious groups like KBBB uphold the law as a moral covenant, opposing changes, critics demand a regulated, evidence-based approach with rehabilitation and transparency.
