Madurai

It is narrated in legend that Madurai was originally a forest known as Kadambavanam. One day, a farmer named Dhananjaya who was passing through the forest, saw Indra (The king of the gods), worshipping a swayambhu (self created Lingam ) under kadamba tree. Dhananjaya, the farmer immediately reported this to King Kulasekara Pandya. Kulasekara Pandya cleared the forest and built a temple around the Lingam. A city was soon planned with the temple as its centre. On the day the city was to be named, Lord Shiva is said to have appeared and drops of nectar from his hair fell on the town. So, the place was named Madurai - mathuram meaning "sweetness" in Tamil.

The Labour Department raided 27 TASMAC shops in the city on Saturday, following complaints from consumers and consumer protection and awareness groups about liquor being sold at inflated prices.
Nearly 14 shops were found selling various liquor brands at inflated prices.
Shopkeepers who were caught selling beer bottles at inflated rates attributed the increased price to the use of refrigerators and cooling boxes.
Many other TASMAC shop owners were pulled up for not issuing bills for purchases to customers.
