The Tamil Nadu government will introduce liquor in 90 ml plasticised cartons, as glass bottles thrown in the streets and waterbodies have become a major cause of concern, said Housing and Urban Development Minister S. Muthusamy, who is additionally holding the portfolios of excise, prohibition, and molasses.
Mr. Muthusamy told journalists on Monday that the government would also take a decision on running toddy shops after getting the report from a committee to be commissioned to study the issue.
The Minister said discussions were held with officials and unions representing employees of the government-run TASMAC shops. “People also expect the government to switch over to plasticised cartons,” he added.
