dissolved the party's Madurai Urban division following "indiscipline" and appointed a temporary committee till a new body was elected.
The shake-up was initiated after some of the functionaries were found acting against the party interests and despite warning from DMK chief M Karunanidhi, party general secretary K Anbazhagan said in a statement.
The action comes in the wake of some posters being pasted by supporters of Karunanidhi's Madurai-based son M K Alagiri in that town, which had made some critical remarks in the context of the party's general council held last month here. Alagiri did not attend the meeting.
