"After the death of Narayan Shahi, the Raute community has removed the addiction to alcohol," he said. He sent the money on the same November full moon. It is thought that they did not drink alcohol even after running out of money. Now if you give up alcohol, you will know that you will get money."
Khatri says that he spends on alcohol because the government will hand it over to him. "If the allowance was distributed only once a month, perhaps they would have given up alcohol forever," he said.
