Description
In the middle of the Kazakh steppes, residents of the village of Karakuduk will not find any alcoholic drinks on store shelves due to a prohibition movement growing in popularity across the Central Asian country. Karakuduk is one of the first villages in Kazakhstan to ban alcohol in an experiment to encourage people to go dry. Local police officer Kuanysh Kalelov says that "no crimes have been registered in the last two or three years," linking it to the ban of alcohol. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
