Tamil Nadu election 2026: Effluent discharge a major issue in Veerapandi constituency
The Veerapandi constituency in Tamil Nadu has a long history of political competition between the AIADMK and the DMK, with the AIADMK holding the seat eight times since 1977. Farmers face challenges due to pollution from illegal dyeing units impacting their water sources, while encroachments on Panamarathupatti lake have left it dry for years. Residents also demand a railway underpass in Malankadu and improvements to existing infrastructure. The AIADMK's S. Sri Balaji Sukumar, the DMK's A.K. Tharun, M.S. Palanivel of TVK, and Rajeshkumar of NTK are contesting the upcoming election.
