Indiscriminate seizure of cash by the election squads has drawn flak from traders.
Since the announcement of Lok Sabha elections on March 16, the Model Code of Conduct has come into effect in the district. The flying squads and the static surveillance squads have been checking the vehicles at various locations.
With the involvement of the police and paramilitary forces, the squads carry out random checks. In addition to the existing permanent check-posts, temporary check-posts have been established at various locations, including Manachanallur, Thuraiyur, Manapparai, and Karumandapam.
