The Andhra Pradesh Toddy Tapping Workers' Association has demanded a permanent excise policy instead of extending the old one once in three months.

It pleaded for reopening of closed toddy shops across the State, continuation of ex gratia scheme along with insurance facility, old-age pension, housing, education, medicare and implementation of GO allotting five acres to each tapper's family.
Meanwhile, members of the Anhdra Pradesh `Kallugeeta Karmika Sangham' staged a dharna before the Excise Commissioner's office here to press several demands, including changes in G.O. 767, scrapping of G.O. 555, and announcement of new excise policy to ensure protection to toddy-tapping profession.
