Chennai, Sept 26:
The State sponsored shut down in Tamilnadu on 1 October in support of the Sethu Samudram project appears to be in doubt in the wake of two Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petitions against it in the Madras High Court.
At the end of the 24 September meeting of the DMK-led Democratic Progressive Alliance (DPA) chaired by DMK president and Chief Minister M Karunandihi, it was decided to hold a bandh to urge the Centre to implement the Sethusamudram project.
Social activist traffic Ramaswamy and Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy have filed the PILs. Ramaswamy has said that the move of the DPA was against the Constitution.
He has also said in his PIL
that the bandh call was against the earlier rulings of the Supreme Court.
