A new facility was built for the TASMAC outlet in Pattapiramapuram panchayat, situated along the Chennai National Highway near Tiruttani in Tiruvallur district. Residents of the area have voiced significant opposition to the establishment, with women notably leading protests over recent days.
Members of the PMK party have also been vocal in their objection. Despite this opposition, the TASMAC shop was opened under heavy police protection, with around a hundred officers led by Tiruttani DSP Kandan present to maintain order.
Police have additionally managed traffic in the vicinity to prevent disruptions caused by the demonstrations. Meanwhile, patrons have been purchasing liquor under the watchful presence of law enforcement.
