The Devaswom Board junction here turned into a battleground when a protest march taken out by Popular Front of India (PFI) activists to Cliff House turned violent on Monday.
Eight people were injured in the agitation that brought traffic to a standstill for nearly two hours.
The agitators, who accused the police of unfairly targeting PFI activists in the sloganeering case in Alappuzha, commenced their rally from the East Fort around 12 p.m.
