Found this item in vernacular press. Havent seen this item in ELM although vernacular press said the item was from PTI. Eventually found it on this site. Anyway not sure how politically-savvy this pub-bharo-andolan is.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Village women vote to shut liquor shop
Kolhapur (Mah), Feb 11 Women of Nandni village in Shirol tehsil today voted to close down a liquor shop in their area in the presence of the concerned officials.
Nandni village is 40 km away from here and famous for vegetable exports. The women decided to close down the liquor shop in their village under the leadership of woman sarpanch Suvarna Devkate.
Two earlier attempts to close the shop had failed due to poor support. This time a large number of women in the village had come together to spread awareness about the bad effect of liquor.
Leaders of the village and youth supported this campaign. Yesterday, the village panchayat was organised in the presence of Block Development Officer (BDO) of Shirol tehsil M R Jadhav, State Excise Officer (SEO) K T Londe. At the meeting, out of 4,622 women in village, 3,235 women were present and all unanimously voted in favour of closing the liquor shop.
According to the State government rules, if more than 50 per cent of women in a village vote for closure of the liquor shop, then the shop in that village can be shut and its licence cancelled.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
