COVID-19 precautions flouted in rural areas; minor scuffles reported in a few areas
At the stroke of 7 a.m., electorate were seen making a beeline to the polling stations resulting in long unwinding queues in many places in Coimbatore and Tiruppur districts. In many polling stations, conservancy workers were busy cleaning and marking personal distancing circles. This resulted in piling up of voters in large numbers and the crowd started melting only after 9.30 a.m.
Kinathukkadavu, Pollachi and Valparai Assembly constituencies witnessed a brisk turn out. While there was optimal compliance to COVID-19 norms in urban areas in terms of personal distancing, masks and sanitiser, rural areas almost saw nil compliance.
