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.
