NEW DELHI, May 28 (Reuters) - India's Tamil Nadu (NS:TNNP) state has ordered a permanent closure of a big copper smelter run by London-listed Vedanta Resources VED.L , its chief minister said on Monday, after protests demanding its shutdown killed 13 people last week.
"We have taken a decision to permanently shut down the plant and today issued government orders to do the same," Edappadi K. Palaniswami said in a statement.
