TIRUPUR: The Avinashi judicial magistrate court has dismissed two cases which were registered against around 20 people, including farmers, who had staged demonstrations for the Athikadavu-Avinashi drinking water supply and groundwater recharge scheme.
They staged hunger strikes in Avinashi as the water scheme was not implemented. The Avinashi police registered the cases. Even after the scheme was being implemented, the cases were not dropped.
After continuous requests, the Tamil Nadu government directed the Avinashi police to withdraw the cases. The police filed petitions before Avinashi judicial magistrate court, where the cases were pending. On March 12, the trial court dismissed the cases as withdrawn.
