A network Thai monk developers Thursday urged the government to implement the law to prohibit the sale of alcohol drinks on major religious holidays, starting from the July 7 Asanha Puja Day.

Some 30 representatives of 14 monk developer organisations and the Alcohol Watch Network in Bangkok submitted to Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai a request for Thai government to push forwards the ban of alcohol sales on the Makha Puja, Visakha Puja, and Asanha Puja days as well as the Buddhist Lent Day (Khao Phunsa).

The group also asked the ministry to spearhead a campaign to promote public's recognition of the National No Alcohol Day.
