BJP protests opening of additional liquor shops on Tuticorin main road

The BJP held a protest against the opening of two additional liquor shops on a main road in Tuticorin municipal limits. The party said the new shops endanger the safety of women, children and school students and disrupt pedestrian activity.

In its statement the BJP’s Thoothukudi south district unit urged the district administration to take legal action to close the newly opened shops, citing public safety and traffic concerns.

The protest highlighted broader community worries about the locations chosen for the new outlets and called for administrative intervention.
