Expressing concern on incidents of 'honour killings' in Tamil Nadu, CPI(M) today demanded that a separate legislation be brought forward by the state government to deal with it.

There had been 60 honour killings in the past three years in the state. The most recent was that of the murder of a Dalit engineer, whose body was found on a railway track near Namakkal, party's state secretary G Ramakrishnan told reporters here.

A Lokayukta should also be set up immediately to tackle corruption and bribe, he said.
