Residents of Devala near Gudalur staged a protest against the attempt made to reopen a tar manufacturing unit here on Wednesday.
The residents alleged that the unit caused air pollution in the area and affected the health of residents. “The factory was closed down a few years ago due to the concerns raised by the local residents. However, the owner, who claims to have political connections, is attempting to reopen the factory,” said R. Dharman, a local resident and one of the protestors.
To voice their opposition, local business owners and taxi drivers refused to operate on Wednesday. Residents raised slogans demanding that the facility be closed down permanently. “When the plant was functioning a few years ago, many residents developed breathing issues and other health problems,” said another protestor.
