Law students demand withdrawal of amendments to Advocate act

Fifty law college students were taken into custody today while attempting to stage picketing in the middle of a flyover on busy Avanashi Road here, demanding immediate withdrawal of amendments to the Advocates Act.

The students, with placards showing their demands, squatted on the middle of the road, causing traffic snarl for some time, police said.

Even as police arrived at the scene, some students, raised slogans and attempted to block traffic.

However, police diverted the traffic and removed the students.

The students were released later.
