Tamil Nadu Expands Liquor Bottle Buy-Back Scheme and Plans External Collection Agency
The Tamil Nadu government has expanded the empty liquor bottle buy-back scheme to all TASMAC outlets in Erode district, requiring customers to pay a refundable deposit per bottle. Following employee protests over handling used bottles, the government plans to introduce a new scheme involving an external agency for bottle collection, aiming to address workers' concerns. This new system is expected to be implemented by the end of June, with authorities urging employees to resume work.
