The dawn-to-dusk general strike called by DMK-backed pro-Sri Lankan Tamil outfit TESO began this morning with no untoward incident reported so far.
Police said that shops in some places were closed and a close watch was being maintained on the situation. However, no untoward incident was reported.
DMK-backed Tamil Eelam Supporters’ Organisation had called for a general strike today to press India to vote in favour of a US-sponsored resolution against Sri Lanka at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) meeting in Geneva.
DMK chief M. Karunanidhi, who had revived TESO last year floated by him in 1980, had called for peaceful protests.
