The Nagaland Baptist Church Council or the NBCC has objected to the State government’s decision to make alcohol available for G20 guests. The NBCC urged the government to implement the Nagaland Liquor Total Prohibition Act with proper will power and resoluteness. In a statement, NBCC general secretary Reverand Dr Zelhou Keyho alleged that the Act had been in the cold storage for three decades and had never been systematically implemented. He said the Act has been defined as a failure even before its implementation because there was a lack of will power coupled with half-hearted approach of the government. Reverand Keyho further said that serving of alcohol at the G20 Summit shows the ineptitude of the government, and further said that he fears misuse of the provision because there would certainly be no supervision and warned that there was every chance that the star hotels and restaurants would become den for liquor.
