Peace returns to Alanganallur: Police

Normalcy today returned to Alanganallur, the hot spot of jallikattu politics in the district, after week-long protests, a top police official said.
District Superintendent of Police Vijendra Bidari told reporters in Alanganallur that police used mild force to disperse those who were 'adamant' and 'caused public nuisance'.
He said 90 students had been arrested in connection with violence earlier in the day.
The situation was normal in the village and police were monitoring the area, police said.
Chief Minister O Panneerselvam was slated to inaugurate the jallikattu event in Alanganallur yesterday in the aftermath of promulgation of an ordinance, but could not do so as the protesters insisted on a permanent solution.
