No more graffiti with caste overtones on compound walls in Tirunelveli
Compound walls of public buildings, which once were carrying messages with caste overtones, are now conveying COVID-19 awareness paintings, thanks to efforts made by Tirunelveli City Police and members of Tirunelveli District Painting Workers’ Association.
Many of the caste-based messages were painted earlier at the instigation of some community leaders. This had also led to clashes in the past. One such ‘leader’ was arrested in Alangulam sub-division a week ago by the police after it was found that he was heading a unit of contract killers.
