Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Sunday that his government has decided to impose a ban on liquor consumption at public places in Goa. He also asserted that a notification will be issued by next month regarding the same.

"If someone wants to drink (liquor), they should drink inside and not in public places. In the next 15 days, I will hold meetings with government officials to ban the consumption of liquor at public places," Parrikar said at a 'Swachch Bharat' function here. He said the government will also impose fines or cancel licences of liquor shops that allow people to drink near the shops.
