    PIL seeking stern action against Tasmac bars filed in HC

    CHENNAI: In the wake of a number of deaths due to the consumption of spurious liquor in the State, a Public Interest Litigation plea has been filed in the Madras High Court seeking a stern action against Tasmac bars.

    R Boomiraj from Coimbatore filed a Public Interest Litigation on Wednesday seeking a direction to crack down on bars attached to Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac) liquor shops and to prevent the sale of spurious liquor.

    “Many human lives were lost in Chengalpattu, Villupuram and Thanjavur districts after the consumption of liquor. More than 20 lives have gone after the consumption of spurious liquor in Chengalpattu and Villupuram districts. Cyanide poisoning has been suspected in the deaths of two individuals who had consumed liquor purchased from the Tasmac shops in Thanjavur. In order to prevent further deaths, a direction be issued to the Home Secretary and Director General of Police (DGP) to inspect all Tasmac retail liquor shops and other areas and seize spurious liquor bottles and take stern action against the violators. Therefore, the sale of liquor in all Tasmac shops across the state should be banned until the disposal of the petition,” he stated in the plea.

    The petition is expected to be listed for hearing before the summer vacation bench comprising Justices B Pugalenthi and V Lakshminarayanan on Thursday.

    Tripura CM Manik Saha Warns Troublemakers Of Stern Action If Found Indulging In Violence

    Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha warned troublemakers of stern action if they were found indulging in violence, irrespective of their political identities. Speaking at an event in Bishalgarh in Sepahijala district, the chief minister said the northeastern state has a tradition of unity and diversity, but people with “vested interests” were trying to divide society.

    “Be it culture or something else, nothing can be achieved without a proper law and order system”, the chief minister said on Sunday. Earlier too, Saha said, he had cautioned troublemakers that strict action would be taken against them, “but it did not work”.

    “Now is the time to switch over to an action mode to put things in the right direction. The police will act tough irrespective of political affiliations. “We want to set a precedent as far as peace, tranquility and unity among people is concerned ”, he said. Claiming that the northeastern state had not witnessed violence during Assembly polls this year but after the counting process was over on March 2, he said, it was allegedly “encouraged by a vested interest group”.

    “They are playing divide and rule card but have not succeeded so far. The government alone cannot strengthen the bond and it is the people who can contribute to this. We must take a resolution on the occasion of the Bengali New Year to remain united”, he said.
