Women have been in the forefront of movements against liquor-related social evils. Women in Patad village in Uttar Pradesh launched an anti-liquor movement. Liquor shops situated near bus stops, a temple and a mosque were spoiling the social environment of the area. Drunken brawls were common and an environment of intoxication prevailed.
Women were finding it difficult to board buses, wash clothes in the pond, and move around freely in the village. With the support of a voluntary organization, Disha, the women of the village launched a three-month long agitation, which ultimately forced the administration to order the closure of the liquor shop. In 1996, the Haryana government banned sale and purchase of liquor in Haryana.
