Dr. Ambedkar statue desecrated, tension in TN village

Cuddalore: Tension prevailed at Kuyavanpettai village near Chidambaram
in this district of Tamil Nadu following desecration of the statue of
Dr B R Ambedkar, this morning.

Locals, who came out of their house at around 0500 hrs, found that the
bust of Dr Ambedkar, mounted on a two ft high pedestal, was found
desecrated and informed the Annamalainagar police, who acted swiftly
and removed it.

As the news spread about 150 to 200 people, including local villagers
and activists of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) resorted to
a snap road roko agitation, demanding action against the culprits
involved in the incident.

Tension prevailed in the area for nearly an hour.

Senior Police officials and Revenue officials held talks with the
agitators, pacified them and promised that culprits would be nabbed
soon.

After a garland of flowers was put on the Statue by the police
officials, the crowd dispersed.

Traffic in the area was affected putting school goers and office goers
to a lot of hardship.
