Barring an incident of a petrol bomb being hurled at the entrance of the Kulathur police station, a sense of normalcy prevailed in the port town of Thoothukudi on Saturday.
Most shops were open for business, while buses and autos were seen plying the roads. With a fleet of 305 buses from seven depots, including Thoothukudi city, Mofussil, Vilathikulam, Kovilpatti, Srivaikuntam, Tiruchendur and Sathankulam, the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation resumed full-scale operations on Saturday.
