Narikurava community members at Devarayaneri along the Thanjavur Highway on the outskirts of the city exercise their franchise in the Lok Sabha elections, despite their demands not being met.
There are more than 1,000 Narikuravars living in Devarayaneri Colony in Tiruchi. Of them, 840 are voters. Members of the community claimed that there were 40 first-time voters among them.
On Friday morning, many registered voters of the colony, who make a living by selling hand-made trinkets, turned up with their children to cast their votes. After waiting in the queue in front of the polling booth, they cast their votes.
