DMK and AIADMK Councillors Protest and Walk Out at Tiruchi Corporation MeetingsPreviousNext

DMK councillors protested and staged walkouts during Tiruchi Corporation council meetings, criticizing the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam government for allegedly selling passes to the Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple consecration and for administrative apathy toward elected representatives. AIADMK members also participated in walkouts, objecting to meeting disruptions. The administration defended the temple event as inclusive and highlighted procedural concerns. The protests raised questions about political influence over public events and governance transparency in Tiruchi.
