Traffic to Thirukkanur affected due to blockade
Puducherry,
Oct
22:
Traffic
to
Thirukkanur
was
affected
for
one-hour
this
morning
as
the
villagers
of
Vazhudavur
put
up
a
road
blockade
on
the
Vazhadavur-Thirukkanur
Road
to
press
their
demands.
They were demanding immediate police action to prevent the illegal sand quarrying from the river Sankarabharani near Vazhudavur. The villagers alleged that rash driving by the vehicles carrying sand was causing accidents in their area and wanted the government to take immediate action.
It may be noted that five persons, who were asleep in their house at Moolakkulam last week, were seriously injured when a tipper lorry carrying sand illegally ran into their house.
On information, police intervened and pacified the agitators assuring them proper action to redress their grievances following which they called-off their agitation.
