A cross-section of residents, farmers and members of the South India Sugarcane Growers Association organised a one-day demonstration on the Melma Koot Road near Cheyyar town in Tiruvannamalai on Tuesday in support of the proposed phase-III project expansion of SIPCOT.
This demonstration in support of the project comes against the backdrop of recent protests by a cross-section of people objecting to the acquisition of land for expansion proposal.
