Consumerfed to open 20 more IMFL retail shops

By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, APRIL 30. The Kerala State Cooperative Consumers Federation (Consumerfed) will open 20 more Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) retail shops in the State in a day or two.

The Consumerfed had deposited the "kist" for these shops already and they will function before May 2, the chairman of the federation, Mr. S. Suseelan, told a press conference here today.

All these 20 shops are being opened by Consumerfed after the Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation rejected the Government's demand to open retail outlets to sell IMFL. With the opening of the new shops, the federation will have 50 retail IMFl shops.

Mr. Suseelan also announced that an additional IMFL retail shop of the Consumerfed with two counters will start functioning at Statue to sell premium liquor and beer from tomorrow.

In view of the heavy rush at the retail shops being run by the Consumerfed in cities, the federation has decided to open two counters at these shops soon.

To a query, Mr. Suseelan said although the federation had anticipated trouble while opening the IMFL retail shops, they were running smoothly.
