The Tamil Nadu government must take steps to close down all liquor shops in the State, said P. Chinnapillai, who has been bestowed with the State government’s Avvaiyar award on Wednesday for her three decades of work in upliftment of women in rural areas. Ms. Chinnapillai, who met the media here on Thursday, said that alcoholism had become a major issue and drinking habit was ruining a large number of families. Thanking the movement for the contributions she was able to make to the society, Ms. Chinnapillai dedicated the award to all the women who are part of the movement. P. Vasimalai, Executive Director of DHAN Foundation, N. Shanthi Maduresan, Chief Executive Officer, DHAN Kalanjiyam Mutual Movement, and P. Ochammal, national president of the movement, congratulated Ms. Chinnapillai for getting the award. “I have personally seen many men dying at an young age due to alcoholism and their families are suffering now,” she added.
