CM Nitish Kumar vowed stern action against those responsible for the sale of spurious liquor
The death toll in the latest hooch tragedy in Bihar climbed to 33 on Friday. Arrests were made and errant officials punished in connection with the sale of spurious liquor, even as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar called for a fresh campaign to dissuade people from drinking alcohol in the dry State.
