Tamil Nadu Police disperses protestors staging demonstration against govt

India TV News  

Tamil Nadu Police on Tuesday dispersed a group of protestors who were demonstrating against a state project which involves land acquisition. Farmers federation leader P R Pandian raised slogans against the DMK regime and was attempting to lead the participants and stage a protest at downtown Valluvar Kottam. Unconditional withdrawal of police cases against all 20 farmers who protested against the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu project at Melma in Tiruvannamalai district is a key demand of the farmers. Abandoning the SIPCOT project itself, which involves 'acquisition of farm lands' and scrapping the Tamil Nadu Land Consolidation Act, 2023 are among the farmers' demands. Also, the farmers demanded that the government 'dismiss' Tiruvannamalai district Collector, police superintendent and PWD Minister EV Velu --a native of Tiruvannamalai district-- for trying to allegedly silence farmers by 'foisting' cases.
