The camp accommodates 13 Sri Lankan Tamils against whom cases booked by the Tamil Nadu police are pending. The sources said that 10 Sri Lankan Tamils who began a fast in the camp on Thursday demanding their release continued it on Friday. Cases relating to human trafficking and those under the Explosives Act had been booked against them. (The Hindu)
