A march taken out by Youth Congress activists to the Thrissur Collectorate on Thursday demanding withdrawal of the controversial K-Rail project turned violent. The protest was also against the police attack on Congress MPs in Delhi.
The Youth Congress activists who managed to overcome the strong police cover laid K-Rail survey stones on the Collectorate premises as a symbolic protest. The activists clashed with the police when the latter attempted to remove the stones.
The Collectorate witnessed untoward scenes for more than an hour when the police resorted to lathi-charge and used water cannon against the agitating Youth Congress activists.
