The Madras High Court on Friday asked Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac) Managing Director to appear before it on June 24 to ascertain why the liquor bottle buy back scheme, which had led to return of around 80,000 glass bottles every day in the Nilgiris district, should not be extended across the State.
A Special Division Bench of Justices N. Sathish Kumar and D. Bharatha Chakravarthy, constituted to hear forest-related cases, said, the scheme could prove beneficial for the people at large and prevent littering of empty glass bottles in agricultural fields, government school campuses and other such places.
