Following the Election Commission of India's announcement of Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) came into effect, leading to suspension of weekly public grievance meetings across districts including Madurai, Ramanathapuram, and Tiruchi. Restrictions on public political advertising were imposed, with private property use allowed only with permission. District officials have established control rooms and surveillance teams to monitor MCC compliance and receive complaints, while petition boxes remain available for public grievances.
