Closure evokes mixed feelings

As an official of the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board sealed the Sterlite Copper plant in Thoothukudi around 6.15 p.m. on Monday, Collector Sandeep Nanduri and Superintendent of Police Murali Rambha, who had taken charge after the fatalities during last week’s anti-Sterlite protests, looked relieved, and appealed to the people to help restore normalcy to the town.
Many people, who had accused Sterlite Copper of polluting the environment and putting their health in peril, assembled in front of the unit on the Thoothukudi-Madurai Bypass Road and burst crackers in celebration.
