Demand for reopening of Sterlite Copper unit became more vociferous as villagers from a few hamlets and fishermen submitted separate petitions during the weekly grievance redress meet held at the Collectorate on Monday.

A group of members of the Country Boat Prawn Fishermen Welfare Association, led by its president Sanda, secretary Samsudeen and treasurer Yasir, submitted a petition. They said they had misconceptions about Sterlite Copper due to “wrong information” spread among the people.
