Tension ran high across Thadagam valley in Coimbatore district on Sunday following an altercation between activists opposing illegal red earth mining and residents of villages in the valley who were previously employed in brick kilns.
According to police sources, activists S. Ganesh, R. Ramesh and Mohanraj alias Mac Mohan along with a girl and a boy visited a brick chamber that has not been functioning for nearly a year. The team reached around 2 p.m. and allegedly used a drone camera to capture the aerial view of the chamber.
The girl, who was admitted to Aster CMI Hospital with alarming breathlessness and significant pallor, was diagnosed with Wegener’s Granulomatosis (now known as Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis or GPA), a rare autoimmune condition that causes spontaneous bleeding in the lungs, leading to acute respiratory failure.
