Coimbatore: Cases have been filed against 40 people , including panchayat leaders, near Pollachi for holding Gram Sabha Meetings despite ban.

The Tamil Nadu government has canceled the Grama sabha meetings scheduled to be held on October 2 in Tamil Nadu on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanthi due to the spread of coronavirus, but DMK leader MK Stalin called on the DMK-backed panchayat leaders to hold the meetings in their respective areas and pass a resolution calling for the repeal of the central government's Agriculture Bills.
