Tamil Nadu Assembly election 2026: Three villages in Coimbatore keep political displays off walls for over 35 years
The Hindu·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
Three villages in Coimbatore district—Kalappanaickenpalayam, Somayampalayam, and Kasthurinaickenpalayam—have kept walls free of political posters, flags, and paintings for over 35 years. Political parties and supporters follow a local understanding not to display campaign materials in public spaces. Election campaigns occur through direct candidate-voter contact instead. Walls and common areas remain unmarked year-round.
