A Tamil Nadu assembly staffer injured during ruckus by opposition and later taken to hospital.

Pandemonium broke out in the Tamil Nadu assembly ahead of the crucial vote of confidence by the Edappadi Palaniswami government with the opposition members stalling the proceedings.

With the matter coming to a head, Speaker P Dhanapal came out of the assembly escorted by marshals shortly after the House assembled to facilitate the floor test.

The proceedings were stalled amid the pandemonium, where some opposition members demanded secret voting.

Meanwhile, the meeting is underway between CM Palanisami and senior ministers.
