Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has ordered an extensive crackdown on alleged revenue leakages and unofficial collections within TASMAC, the state's liquor monopoly. Government sources claim nearly ₹102 crore was being diverted every month through informal channels, with estimated losses touching ₹1,600 crore over five years. The new administration has launched a major transparency drive, reviewed the bottle-return system and already shut 717 liquor outlets as part of a broader reform agenda.
