film fraternity to take part in this protest
against the Sri Lankan government. He also
said that all film shootings from 18th to
20th of October stands cancelled.
At this juncture, there was an emergency
meeting convened by Sarath Kumar, President

It was decided at the meeting that Nadigar
Sangam will wholeheartedly support the cause

to participate in this demonstration if
it was held in Chennai.
Reacting to this, Rama Narayanan said that
there is a special train arranged for around
1000 people, which would leave Chennai on
October 18th night and reach Rameswaram
on the 19th morning. After the meeting and
demonstration ends on the 19th, the special
train would leave Rameswaram on 19th evening
and reach Chennai on the 20th. |
