Liquor prohibition in TN in phases, says Jayalalithaa

CHENNAI: Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa on Saturday promised to implement prohibition “in phases” in Tamil Nadu, while pointing out it would be impossible and impractical to ban liquor “in one signature”.

Recognising that prohibition has emerged as the “hero” of all poll manifestos of her rivals, the AIADMK supremo told a huge rally to formally launch her campaign here for the May 16 state polls that she would phase out liquor if voted to power again.
