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.
