In Tamil Nadu, a political bloc led by the TVK, alongside the DMK, walked out of a meeting convened by the Election Commission of India (ECI). The participating parties have formally demanded the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), though the specific grievances leading to this demand were not detailed in the initial reports. The walkout signals a significant escalation in tensions between regional political entities and the national election body.

Simultaneously, weather authorities are monitoring a developing situation in the Bay of Bengal. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a formal alert for the coastal states of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Forecasters are warning of a potential cyclone that could impact the region by October 26. State governments have been placed on high alert as officials prepare for potential emergency response measures, though the exact path and intensity of the storm remain subject to further meteorological updates.
