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.

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.
