Commuters on the busy Perambur Main Road came to a grinding halt for nearly two hours when a 100 strong crowd demonstrated on the stretch. The protesters field-level workers of Metrowater took to the streets demanding action against the councillor of ward 45 for assaulting three of their colleagues the previous day. Workers from nearly a dozen Metrowater depots, including Washermenpet, Vyasarpadi, Perambur and MKB Nagar, took part in the protest. On Friday morning, the councilor, along with some supporters, went to the Metrowater office on Perambur Main Road and attacked the workers again.
The workers then decided to take out a protest. Later on the Sembium police and senior Metrowater officials held talks with the protesters and asked them to disperse. A case was registered against the councilor at the Sembium police station.
