A Khap Panchayat in Hisar, Haryana, on 7 January issued an order regarding complete prohibition on liquor and organising DJ parties in the village as they alleged these are the main factors behind increasing rate of rape cases in the country. “We have decided to ban alcohol as it is the main reason behind rapes. We have also banned jeans and T-shirts for girl students as it is not a proper dress,” said Sarpanch Shamsher Singh. “The decision of the Panchayat is good and will contain the harassment of girls. Poor dressing is the main reason behind rapes,” said Shanti Devi, a Panchayat member. The Panchayat formed an 11-member panel to ensure the decision is implemented and a fine of Rs. 11,000 would be imposed on defaulters.
