Traders in Talavadi hills have decided to close their shops and extend support for the protest planned at Bannari on February 10.
The protest is against the proposed move to ban vehicle movement during night on Bannari-Dhimbam stretch of the Coimbatore - Bengaluru National Highway 959.
The Madras High Court had on January 28 asked the Erode District Collector H. Krishnanunni to convene a meeting with stakeholders before February 18. This is regarding imposing vehicle ban from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. on the stretch that passes through the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR) so that road kills of wild animals can be prevented.

What began as a simple way to stay active soon grew into something larger. The couple converted the garden of their Ashok Nagar residence into a pickleball court, now known as Pickleball Point, envisioning it as a lively space where people from all age groups could gather, play and connect. “It started at home, as something for my husband and me to stay engaged,” she says. “As senior citizens, we wanted to enjoy the energy of people coming in and playing,” she further adds.
