Tamil Nadu Assembly election 2026: Teachers voice concern over defaced schools as polling nears

Schools in Tamil Nadu are being used as polling booths for the Assembly election. This has caused concerns among teachers, who are worried about the potential damage to school infrastructure. Issues include candidates' posters stuck on walls, garbage scattered around, and damaged blackboards. Schools have been used as polling booths since India's first general elections in 1951, when Assembly elections were held in the State.
