Stung by fire incidents in various parts of Bihar due to searing heat conditions, the state government has come up with a solution, which says no cooking.

Yes, the state govt has come up with a bizarre solution of ‘cooking will not be allowed between 9 am and 6 pm during the summer’. And those who violate it, can be jailed for up to two years.
