The local community has been staging various protests to express their opposition to the liquor outlet in their neighborhood.

In a recent development, the residents submitted petitions to Minister Mahesh, voicing their concerns about the TASMAC bar. They also handed over petitions to the District Collector's office and the Sundharapuram Police Station, seeking intervention in the matter.
