Tamil Nadu: Liquor Sales Benefit Exchequer, Workers Get Pittance
The TamilNadu State Marketing Corporation, a government-owned entity, has a monopoly in wholesale and retail alcoholic beverages sales in the state. The state government earned Rs 36,013.14 crore in revenue through the sale of liquor in the 2021-2022 financial year. But even a minor portion of this revenue has not benefited the #workers, who helped TASMAC earn it. They frequently protest to demand minimum wages. Their situation remains the same even after 18 years of working with the Corporation, and it is no better under the MK Stalin-led DMK government.
