Ahead of Deepavali, the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation Limited (Tasmac) has instructed bars attached to its retail vending shops to be reopened from November 1.
A notice issued by L. Subramanian, Managing Director of Tasmac, to all senior regional managers and district managers mentioned that all standalone bars that are attached to the liquor retail vending shops (except in containment zones) can open from November 1, between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) issued for controlling COVID-19.
The bars were closed down after the second wave of COVID-19 early this year.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
