TENKASI, October 22, 2025 – Alangulam Town Panchayat is currently facing administrative changes following the disqualification of its chairperson, DMK Councillor Sudha, from Ward 7. The decision, made by Executive Officer (In-Charge) Venkata Gopu, stems from the chairperson’s alleged failure to pay property taxes owed on properties she owns within the Alangulam Town Panchayat’s jurisdiction.
