Trade union leaders court arrest
Several trade union leaders on Tuesday courted arrest while staging a protest against the National Democratic Alliance governments at Centre and Puducherry.
Members of INTUC, CITU, AITUC, and other trade unions took out a march from Balaji Theatre junction to highlight the “anti-people” policies of the NDA governments. They raised slogans criticising both governments for their failure to control the price of essential commodities and policies against the interest of working class.
The police stopped the members near J. N Street-Mission Street junction. They were arrested and later released.
The Madras High Court on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, rejected a plea by former special Director General of Police (DGP) Rajesh Das to restore the electricity service connection to a bungalow in Thaiyur near Kelambakkam in Chengalpattu district, and to restrain Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) officials from disturbing the power supply in future.
