Trichy: Tension prevailed in front of the Trichy International Airport after a clash broke out between cadres of the MDMK and Naam Tamilar Katchi while they were waiting to receive their respective leaders Vaiko and Seeman, who arrived by the same flight from Chennai on Saturday.
While Vaiko was on his way to Ariyalur, Seeman was proceeding to Neduvasal in Pudukottai district to take part in various events, scheduled on Saturday, police said.
According to police, a verbal altercation broke out between supporters of both leaders who were raising slogans even before their arrival.
