The government has issued an order that a judicial magistrate court would be set up at Modakurichi, taluk headquarters, in Erode district. The place for this should be selected by the Modakurichi tahsildar. In this case, there was a complaint that some other place was selected for establishing the court instead of Modakurichi.
A consultation meeting of traders and some outfits at a private wedding hall in Modakurichi wanted steps to set up the court in Modakurichi. To press the demand, traders observed bandh on Monday and staged a demonstration in front of the taluk office and dispersed.
