Kargil Muslim Group Demands Liquor Ban, Threatens Protests

Jamiat Ul Ulama Isna Asharia Kargil (JUIAK), an influential religious body in Ladakh's Kargil district, vehemently opposes the new excise policy. The organization warns of peaceful protests if liquor sales are permitted. JUIAK argues alcohol harms youth and society, demanding a complete ban. The group seeks a meeting with Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena to submit a formal liquor ban representation.
