Twelve members of the Tamil Nadu Highways Department Salai Paniyalar Sangam were arrested after they expressed their opposition and reportedly did not cooperate in the removal of their association’s flag post installed near the TVS tollgate area here on Monday.
The State Highways department had been removing the flag posts of various parties and organisations installed on the roadside.
The officials arrived in the morning to remove the flag post of the Tamil Nadu Highways Department Salai Paniyalar Sangam installed in front of the state highways office when a section of the sangam members opposed the removal and entered into an argument. Police personnel held talks with them. Twelve of them were arrested and the flag post was subsequently removed. Those held were later released in the evening, said police sources.
