Tasmac — Charging over MRP, & threatening with violent language & behaviour.

Dear Sir / Madam / Team,

Why is TASMAC (government run liquor distributer and seller, Tamil Nadu) being allowed to charge it's patrons over the MRP for every bottle of alcohol purchased?

This has been going on for over a decade, and no one has been able to stop this. When sellers are questioned about this, they go into a fit of rage, getting into arguments, sometimes physically assaulting the patrons, and throwing the patrons out of the store. I live in Coimbatore, and all TASMAC outlets have been known to do this, and it's probably the same throughout the state of Tamil Nadu. And now to avoid any trace of such fraud, TASMAC outlets have banned the usage of debit and credit cards, they accept only cash.

It is unbelievable that a government run establishment behave in such a manner; in spite of such incidents being reported, and even being published in the newspapers.

Is there anything that can be done to stop this kind of behaviour by TASMAC, while not baring our rights to the consumption of such products?

Thank you.
