**Madurai, Tamil Nadu, April 21, 2025** – Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC) employees staged a protest outside the Madurai district Collector’s office on Monday, demanding equal rights and benefits comparable to government employees. Key demands include job permanency, paid leave, equal pay, inclusion in the Employees State Insurance (ESI) scheme, and a transparent system for transfers and postings based on merit, rather than arbitrary deployment. The protestors argued that the current system lacks transparency and fairness, particularly regarding transfers, and called for regional managers to be granted the authority to oversee these processes.
