Tamil Nadu election 2026: Melur constituency voters expect protection of natural resources

Melur Assembly constituency in Madurai district is home to Arittapatti, the first biodiversity heritage site in Tamil Nadu. The people of the Assembly constituency have always voiced support for the protection of natural resources.

For about 25 years now, the Melur Assembly constituency has been a bastion of the AIADMK with the party winning consecutively from the 2001 Assembly election to the 2021 Assembly election. The five wins on the trot in the Assembly elections shows that the people of the region have remained loyal to the AIADMK.
