Chennai, (IANS) | Tamil Nadu’s PMK on Sunday called for the bifurcation of the state’s Tiruvannamalai district and took out a protest march in front of the Anna statue here to press for the demand. During the protest PMK State President and former Union Minister Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss said that Tiruvannamalai is the second largest district of Tamil Nadu with a population of around 27 lakhs.
