Tamil Nadu raises TASMAC staff pay by 25% to tackle corruption

The Tamil Nadu government, led by CM Vijay, declared a 25% salary increase for TASMAC shop workers on Tuesday. This pay raise is intended to stop staff from charging customers an additional ₹10 per bottle, a practice linked to corruption. Officials hope that increasing wages will discourage such dishonest behavior at the state-owned liquor retail chain throughout Tamil Nadu.
