Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu is on the boil after thousands of protesters clashed with the police on Tuesday leaving at least eleven dead and more than 30 injured. The agitators were demanding the closure of Sterlite Copper,
an industrial plant charged with generating pollution. The protesters had gathered outside the collector’s office
and allegedly went on a rampage, destroying public property. Police opened fire and resorted to lathi-charge resulting in casualties. A cop in plain clothes armed with an assault rifle was recorded firing at the protestors from the roof of a bus.
