6 held for violence in Tuticorin anti-Sterlite-protests detained under NSA

The six people arrested on May 22 for their alleged involvement in the violence during anti-Sterlite protests in Tuticorin (TN) last month were yesterday detained under the National Security Act (NSA), police said. Thirteen people were killed in police firing on May 22 and 23 after protests for closure of the plant over pollution concerns turned violent in Tuticorin.

Investigation
TN government appointed first-person commission to probe violence

The NSA empowers the Central and State governments to detain a person for maximum period of 12 months to prevent him/her from acting in any manner prejudicial to national security. The Tamil Nadu government had appointed a one-person Commission of Inquiry headed by a retired judge of Madras HC to probe the violence. The State Human Rights Commission has also initiated an inquiry.

Information
Government directed to permanently close Vedanta Group's copper plant

The accused, presently lodged in Palayamkottai Central Prison, were detained as per the orders of the Home Secretary Niranjan Mardi, police said. On May 28, the government ordered the state Pollution Control Board to "permanently" close the Vedanta Group's copper plant, following the protests.
