The Nungambakkam police on Monday arrested 46 women and two men belonging to a fishermen association on charges of staging a demonstration and attempting to march towards the house of Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram. According to police sources, the women raised slogans condemning the killing of a fisherman of Nagapattinam allegedly by the Sri Lankan Navy. They urged the Central government to take appropriate action to prevent such attacks. Assistant Commissioner of Police (Nungambakkam) M.
