Lawyers Police Clash at Chennai High Court Video

Lawyers and policemen clashed for over two hours on the premises of the Madras High Court on Thursday, leaving around 20 people injured. A high court judge and two news photographers caught were also hurt. The situation was brought under control after the Rapid Action Force, the Special Action Group and the Tamil Nadu police commandoes were called in.



[ The trigger for the violence was the presence of Janata Party leader and former union minister Subramanium Swamy in the court. Swamy had been assaulted by a group of lawyers on January 17 for having been a critic of the LTTE.

Swamy, who had come for an unrelated matter, departed without incident. A group of lawyers led by one S. Rajnikanth then went to the police station located inside the court premises and
complained that Swamy, while walking along the court’s verandah, had made derogatory remarks about the lawyers. However, some of the lawyers were detained by the police and told they were being arrested for the earlier assault on Swamy. “A furious argument began and all hell broke loose,” said an eyewitness.] - Thanks Hinduston Times

Fire at Saravana Stores, 2 Reported Dead

Chennai - September 1, 2008: A major fire broke out in Chennai's shopping paradise - Ranganathan Street. The fire broke out at Saravana Stores in Ranganathan Street, T Nagar - Chennai. The fire broke out on Monday (September 1, 2008) early morning between 5:00 and 5:30. There were 10-15 employees in the shop at that time.


Several lakh worth of goods were destroyed in a major fire that broke out at the fourth floor and two men loss of life was reported, police said. This accident is an eye-opener to authorities who ignored the safety norms followed in shopping complexes in the area. Most of the shopping complexes in Chennai don't have sufficient fire fighting equipments or fire exits used to evacuate people in case of a disaster. One hopes that the authorities wake-up atleast now and raze structures which are built in violation of the rules to prevent mishaps.
