As per the resolutions adopted today, those present agreed that all civil society organisations will work jointly from tomorrow to stop the sale and consumption of alcohol in the State, to effectively implement the 1991 Prohibition Act, to scrap the nod given to brewing of alcohol for customary needs, fitting punishment to be given to those responsible for the death of five persons after consuming alcohol, the bodies of the five deceased persons to be claimed only after the civil society organisations have agreed to a date and time and everyone to extend co-operation to the JAC in times to come .
