Normal life resumes in Mayiladuthurai

NAGAPATTINAM: Normalcy returned to Mayiladuthurai and other parts of North Nagapattinam on Sunday evening as shops reopened after a three-day shutdown in demand of a Mayiladuthurai district.  

“We have to end the shutdown considering as traders’ revenues and businesses are affected, but our demand stays. We hope we have made a point. We were disappointed we could not meet the Chief Minister,” said C Senthilvel, president, Mayiladuthurai Chamber of Commerce. 

Traders and the public in Kuthalam formed human chain for a couple of kilometres in demand for the district on Sunday. DMK, VCK, CPI, CPI(M), and Congress party workers were part of the human chain.
