Chennai: In a major move to curb overcharging at state-run liquor retail outlets across Tamil Nadu, the state government has issued strict, revised disciplinary guidelines following directives from the Madras High Court.
Under the new circular issued, retail liquor staff found selling liquor above the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) will face progressive penalties, culminating in permanent termination for repeat offenders, sources from Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC), the monopoly agency selling liquor in the state, said on Sunday.
