India, May 12 -- Vijay, Tamil Nadu's new chief minister, continued his first full day in office with a second major order after shutting down hundreds of liquor outlets - directing party workers not to place banners, posters or public displays that inconvenience people.

Earlier in the day, Vijay ordered the closure of 717 state-run liquor shops located within 500 metres of schools, places of worship and bus stands.

By afternoon, his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), issued a strict message to cadres, asking them not to erect banners, posters, or similar displays in public spaces for birthdays, personal celebrations, or political events if they obstruct traffic or inconvenience the public.
