On April 23, 2026, the Vanniyar community in K. Eachambadi village, located in Harur constituency, Tamil Nadu, India, executed a near-complete boycott of the Assembly elections. This action was taken in response to a controversial decision to shift two high school sections to a nearby Scheduled Caste Colony, where a new government school building is being established. The community's discontent stemmed from the perceived discriminatory nature of this move. After the polling concluded, the residents escalated their protest by demanding a repoll, reflecting their dissatisfaction with the electoral process and the education policy affecting their children. This incident underscores the complexities surrounding educational access and community rights in the region.
