March 12, 2013 / 11:43 IST

Chennai, Mar 12 (PTI) The dawn-to-dusk general strike called by DMK-backed pro-Sri Lankan Tamil outfit TESO began this morning with no untoward incident reported so far. Shops in some places were closed and a close watch was being maintained on the situation, police said. However, no untoward incident was reported, they said. DMK-backed Tamil Ealam Supporters' Organisation had called for a general strike today to press India to vote in favour of a US-sponsored resolution against Sri Lanka at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) meeting in Geneva. DMK chief M Karunanidhi, who had revived TESO last year floated by him in the 1980s, had called for peaceful protests.PTI SA BN DV SS
