HC orders to preserve bodies of 11 killed in Sterlite firing
The Madras High Court has ordered to preserve the bodies of 11 people who were killed in police firing at anti-Sterlite protests in Tuticorin on Tuesday, until further orders. Thousands of protestors had gathered to protest against the expansion of the Sterlite plant, claiming it polluted groundwater. Later, the Madras High Court stayed the construction of the new copper smelter.
