Take responsibility for Tasmac liquor deaths: Anbumani tells T.N. govt.

PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Tuesday demanded an audit of liquor shops run by Tasmac following the death of a 35-year-old youth who recently died in Salem district after reportedly consuming liquor. He said that the Tamil Nadu government must take responsibility for deaths due to liquor consumption from Tasmac outlets.

In a statement, he said it was shocking that there are continuous deaths due to the consumption of liquor from Tasmac shops.

“It has been said the person died after falling ill due to consumption of liquor. If a person who is 35 years old is dying due to liquor consumption, are the liquor shops selling liquor or poison? The State government should answer,” he said.
