A resident of Madurai has raised concerns about the difficulties faced in setting up water points (thanneer pandals) due to the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) during elections. In representations to the Chief Secretary and the Chief Electoral Officer, he sought clarification on whether election rules permit the setup of water points by individuals or organizations. Additionally, he urged for drinking water facilities to be provided for voters and officials on polling day, considering the prevailing sweltering heat as per the India Meteorological Department’s advisory.
