Presently, the TASMAC shops are functioning in the State of Tamil Nadu from 10.00 AM to 8.00 PM.
However, it is observed that most of the guidelines for prevention of the raging coronavirus pandemic - wearing face masks, keeping social distancing, etc, ARE NEVER FOLLOWED.
In this situation, with the additional alarming development of the increasing trend of the coronavirus spread in the recent days, the State Government of Tamil Nadu has initiated several preventive measures to check this and also to encounter the 3rd wave of the coronavirus pandemic!
As such, TASMAC has decided to reduce the number of hours the shops are open for sales.
A TASMAC official shared in this regard:
“As a measure to prevent the thronging crowds in TAMAC shops, it has been decided to keep the shops open only from 12.00 Noon to 7.00 PM. We have asked for permission for this from the State Government of Tamil Nadu. It is expected that the State Government of Tamil Nadu will take a final decision on this issue after 15th August.
