Tamil Nadu election 2026: Sankari constituency demands ‘auto nagar’, solution to traffic congestion

The Sankari Assembly constituency is known for lorry body workshops and has seen intense competition between DMK and AIADMK in all Assembly elections since 1977. The constituency's narrow roads cause peak hour traffic congestions as over 10,000 lorries enter Sankari daily. A long-pending demand is to develop an 'auto nagar' in Sankari, which was assured by political parties in 2021 but remains unfulfilled.
