A man was killed in fresh police firing on anti-Sterlite plant agitators today, while some others were injured in clashes with security personnel in Tamil Nadu's Tuticorin town, a day after 10 people lost their lives in police action, officials said.
Enraged over yesterday's killings, protesters took to streets and showered stones and brickbats at police, prompting security personnel to open fire at Anna Nagar, they said.
The body of the man killed in firing, and those injured have been rushed to a government hospital.
Locals have been agitating for over 100 days now demanding closure of the Vedanta group copper plant over pollution concerns.
