Liquor Ban Imposed in Tiruvallur Ahead of Chittoor Polls

Tamil Nadu administration has ordered a complete ban on the sale of liquor in the Tiruvallur district, effective immediately. This measure is specifically targeted at areas near the Andhra Pradesh border to maintain law and order during the upcoming Chittoor assembly elections.

The decision aligns with standard electoral conduct rules aimed at preventing alcohol-fueled incidents that could disrupt the voting process. Authorities in the border regions have been instructed to strictly monitor liquor shops and ensure compliance with the prohibition order.

The ban is part of broader security arrangements deployed by the state government to ensure free and fair polls in the Chittoor constituency. Local police and administrative officers are on heightened alert to enforce the directive and prevent any unauthorized sales.
