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 highest number of shops were closed in the Madurai region with 290, followed by the Coimbatore region with 179
The cabinet also approved the framing of “Bihar Ryot Land Purchase Policy 2026”, as per which land can be acquired based on mutual talks/coordination/consent from the ryots for various projects of both the central and state governments.
