Shut but open
Every time a new party comes to power, closing liquor shops becomes one of its standard promises. But shops are eventually opened in other locations. Is the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam government’s decision to shut 717 liquor shops near educational institutions and places of worship going to be any different, people wonder
The Tamil Nadu government has announced the closure of 717 liquor retail outlets situated near educational institutions and places of worship. This move aligns with a common electoral promise made by incoming administrations in the state, which often pledge to restrict alcohol sales. However, past experiences have shown that such closures are frequently followed by the relocation of these shops to different areas, leading to public skepticism about the long-term impact of the current decision.
This policy shift raises questions about the state's approach to alcohol regulation and its effectiveness in addressing public health and social concerns.
