Madras High Court dismisses plea to reopen Sterlite copper plant in Thoothukudi

Madras High Court refuses to allow the reopening of Sterlite copper smelting plant in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi.

Local parties celebrated the verdict on August 18.

Plant has been shut since April 2018.

Thirteen people were killed last year when police opened fire during a protest against environmental pollution allegedly caused by the plant, after which the plant was closed by the state government.
