My name is Munni Devi. I am calling from Rewa in Madhya Pradesh. The other day I heard on Swara that a brother from Betul was requesting for closure of liquor shops in his village. I support his demand. Many of our men waste their earning in drinking and other intoxicating stuff which they should be spending on their family. I request the Govt to stop sale of these unnecessary things by force. For more Munni Ji can be reached at 09200008851
