Tasmac liquor outlets reopened in Karur district on Tuesday, but employees refused to accept empty liquor bottles returned by customers.

There are 76 Tasmac outlets in Karur district, with liquor worth around ₹2 crore being sold every day. The outlets employ approximately 450 workers.

Tasmac employees had closed the outlets on Monday in protest against the empty liquor bottle return scheme and demanding that it be withdrawn.

A consultative meeting of the Joint Action Committee of Tasmac trade unions was held on Tuesday near the office of the Tasmac District Manager at the Karur Industrial Estate. The unions decided to reopen the outlets but said they would not implement the procedure for collecting empty bottles.

Union representatives cited several difficulties in implementing the scheme. Each returned bottle had to be scanned three times, while the shortage of change made it difficult to refund ₹10 to customers. They also said the scanners did not retain their charge for long and that stickers had to be affixed to the bottles. The entire process took up to 10 minutes for each bottle.

The representatives said they had implemented the scheme for three months at the Minister’s request, but the government’s decision to announce its implementation unilaterally during the festival season was not acceptable.
