Tension prevailed in the Solar area of Erode (West) Assembly constituency on Thursday (April 23, 2026) after ₹8.20 lakh in unaccounted cash was seized from the office of a DMK functionary, triggering a protest by the AIADMK-led alliance candidate.
Polling for the Assembly elections was under way at a brisk pace across the district, even as flying squad teams intensified surveillance to curb the distribution of money to voters.
