Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday embarked upon his Samaj Sudhar Abhiyan (social reform campaign) from Motihari in East Champaran district to raise awareness about social ills such as child marriage and the dowry system.
Mr. Kumar said he would participate only in those marriage functions where dowry had not been taken by the family of the bridegroom .“If people want to invite me, they should get it printed in the invitation card that no dowry had been taken in that marriage,” Mr. Kumar told a gathering at Gandhi Maidan in Motihari, the headquarters of East Champaran district.
Mr. Kumar also appealed to people to enforce prohibition in their area and highlighted how peace had returned in society after prohibition was enforced in the State in April 2016.
