The court asked Tamil Nadu Government to submit a detailed report by June 6th about the incident that took place on May 22nd and 13 people lost their lives in the town. A case has been registered after which the court pronounced its order. Tamil Nadu Government issued a GO to close the Sterlite Copper plant in the town after the situations walked out of control.

Earlier Chief Minister K. Palaniswami told that the people have been protesting peacefully against the plant but the situations turned violent because of the "anti-social elements".
