Traffic choked for two hours on Kumuli-Lower Camp ghat section
Demanding the Union government to take stern action against the Kerala government for its false propaganda on the safety and security of Mullaperiyar dam, farmers from five southern districts of Tamil Nadu resorted to a road blockade on Sunday.
As a result of the agitation, vehicular movement on the Kumuli-Lower Camp ghat section was choked for over two hours. Vehicles had lined up on both sides of the road for over two kilometres, officials said.
The farmers, led by S.R. Thevar and other leaders, had announced to take out a rally to counter the motor cycle rally being taken by a group in Kerala against the Mullaperiyar dam’s existence.
