Tamil Nadu Assembly election 2026: Difficult terrain, language barriers slow poll outreach in hills in Erode district

Reaching voters in the hilly regions of the Bhavanisagar Assembly constituency remains a challenging exercise for political parties, involving long travel hours, difficult terrain and language barriers.

Of the 2,37,613 electors in the Bhavanisagar (R) constituency, 64,721 are located in the hills of Thalavadi (47,630 electors) and Kadambur (17,091 electors). Despite the time and cost involved, parties continue to campaign in these remote pockets to ensure that voters are not left out of the electoral process.
