About 35 persons, including Congress and DMK workers, were arrested today when they attempted to lay siege of a government-run liquor outlet in the city, police said.
With the closure of nearly 150 liquor shops on National Highway, the officials started relocating the shops to residential areas, drawing large scale protest from the public, causing hardships to local people, the protestors said.
The agitators shouted slogans against the relocation and attempted to lay siege of the shop, police said.
