Tamil Nadu To Shut Down 717 TASMAC Shops Near Schools And Temples

Tamil Nadu To Shut Down 717 TASMAC Liquor Shops Near Schools And Temples CM Vijay Orders Major Crackdown On Liquor Outlets Across State Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has ordered the closure of 717 TASMAC liquor outlets located near schools, colleges, temples, mosques, churches, and other sensitive public places across the state. The decision is being seen as a major government policy move aimed at improving public safety and reducing the social impact of liquor sales near educational and religious institutions. Officials said the action follows increasing public complaints regarding liquor shops operating close to schools and places of worship. The Tamil Nadu government has directed authorities to immediately identify and shut down outlets violating distance and location norms. The move is expected to affect several districts where TASMAC outlets were functioning in densely populated residential and public areas. Government Focuses On Public Welfare And Safety The Vijay-led administration stated that the decision was taken to protect students, women, and local communities from disturbances linked to liquor consumption near sensitive zones. Authorities also stressed that public welfare and social responsibility remain key priorities of the government. The closure of TASMAC shops is likely to impact state liquor revenue temporarily, but officials indicated that the government is prioritising public interest over commercial considerations. Residents and social organisations across Tamil Nadu have welcomed the decision, calling it a positive step toward improving the social environment near schools and religious places. The government is also expected to strengthen monitoring mechanisms to ensure future liquor outlets comply with state regulations and location restrictions.

West Bengal Makes Vande Mataram Mandatory In School Assemblies

West Bengal Makes Vande Mataram Mandatory In School Morning Assemblies Suvendu Adhikari Government Issues New Directive For State Schools The West Bengal government has made the singing of Vande Mataram mandatory in all state-run and aided schools during morning assemblies. The directive was issued by the School Education Department shortly after the new government led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari assumed office. According to officials, all students must participate in singing the national song before the start of classes, and school authorities have been instructed to ensure strict implementation across the state. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari confirmed that Vande Mataram would be introduced as the official prayer song in schools from next Monday. The Education Department also directed schools to maintain records of the assemblies, including video documentation, as proof of implementation. Debate Over Assembly Duration And School Practices Earlier, most schools in West Bengal traditionally sang only the national anthem, Jana Gana Mana, composed by Rabindranath Tagore. The previous government had also introduced Banglar Mati Banglar Jol as the state song during assemblies. With Vande Mataram now added to the routine, some teachers have reportedly raised concerns regarding the duration and sequence of songs during the limited assembly time. The move comes amid broader national discussions surrounding the importance of Vande Mataram and recent proposals by the Centre to strengthen laws against obstructing the singing of the national song. Written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Vande Mataram remains one of India’s most recognised patriotic compositions
