Large-scale violence broke out in Yanam, an enclave of Puducherry about 30 kms from Kakinada, following the death of a trade union leader of a ceramic private factory here, allegedly due to police beating, on Friday morning. Curfew has been imposed in the town, reports The Hindu.
M. S. Murali Mohan, the founder of the union, was picked up on Thursday night by Yanam police, reportedly on a complaint by the factory management against the workers, who have been agitating for better wages and staff regularisation for nearly one month.
