Communist Party of India (Marxist) cadres on Thursday laid siege to Madurai railway station opposing the Agnipath scheme.
The protesters, led by Madurai MP, Su. Venkatesan, who took out a procession from Kattabomman statue up to the entrance of the railway station pushed the barricades despite the police resistance.
A few of them managed to sneak into the railway platform with party flags though another team of police and Railway Protection Force personnel were trying to block them at the portico.
