Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's 'liquor ban': 717 govt-run TASMAC shops shut

Описание: Within just two days of taking oath as CM , Vijay ordered the closure of 717 state-run liquor shops located within 500 metres of places of worship, educational institutions, and bus stands. The order gives the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation, better known as TASMAC, two weeks to complete the shutdown. The move is being seen as the first concrete step toward Vijay’s promise of building what he calls an “addiction-free Tamil Nadu.” It also signals that the actor-turned-politician is wasting no time in making his political priorities clear after his dramatic rise to power.Samah Qundeel explains what the liquor ban is.
