The Greater Chennai Corporation on Tuesday tweeted that the TASMAC outlets in and around Chennai would not be opened on May 7 as announced earlier. This announcement followed after the Tamil Nadu government issued a circular that the TASMAC shops within the limits of Chennai Corporation would not be opened on May 7.
The opening of TASMAC shops within Chennai has been postponed indefinitely.
However, the TASMAC shops in other parts of the state will be opened on May 7.
This is the second time in a week that the Tamil Nadu government has withdrawn an order issued earlier. Yesterday, an HR&CE order that mandated temples to donate to CM’s relief fund was withdrawn after the Madras High Court found the order legally untenable.
