Himachal Pradesh's Keylong panchayat bans Beer at weddings, festivals

The Keylong panchayat in the tribal Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh has passed a resolution banning beer from being served in festivals and weddings to curb "wasteful expenditure" at such events. It also discussed putting curbs on the mixing of "outside cultures" in weddings and other celebrations, and introducing one-way plying vehicles in the Keylong market, maintaining sanitation, beautification of Panchayat and diverting tourists to other destinations.
