The local authority has banned playing Bhojpuri songs at any social or private events in Birgunj-3 from Wednesday.

A village assembly meeting held under Ward Chairman Manoj Kumar Yadav made the decision to this effect. 

Similarly, the liquor shops in the area have been directed  to close by 8pm while residents have been advised  not to roam around the village after 10pm. 

Yadav warned that anyone violating the directive will be fined adding that going to someone’s function without invitation will be subject to punishment. 

Yadav said that the decision was taken after the villagers were found engaged in brawls under the influence of alcohol.
