The correct answer is: Sale and consumption of alcohol.
The Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949 is a law that prohibits the manufacture, sale, consumption, and transportation of alcoholic beverages in the Indian state of Gujarat. The law was enacted in response to the widespread problem of alcoholism in the state.
The law makes it a punishable offense to manufacture, sell, or consume alcohol in Gujarat. The punishment for violating the law can include imprisonment, a fine, or both.
The law has been successful in reducing the consumption of alcohol in Gujarat. However, it has also been criticized for being too harsh and for leading to the growth of a black market for alcohol.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The practice of untouchability is banned by the Indian Constitution.
- Child labor is banned by the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986.
- Public gatherings are not banned in Gujarat.
