Were Environmental Norms Bypassed To Permit Sterlite Plant To Operate?
13 people are dead in police firing and violence in Tuticorin and 102 others injured. That's what senior state officials have said. After three days of silence, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E Palaniswamy finally spoke on Thursday. He strongly defended the police action and accused the Opposition of instigating people. This on a day another video emerged of cops surrounding a dying protester and telling him to stop acting. But the larger question remains, were environmental norms bypassed so that the Sterlite plant could operate?
