After the anti-hindi imposition row in Tamil Nadu, in Trichy, unidentified men have erased Hindi text by smearing black paint in few of the central government office, including post office and BSNL office.

The incident was noticed on Saturday at a set of central govt offices in Trichy, including the offices of BHEL, BSNL and ammunition factory and railway stations, where boards representing the office names in Tamil, English and Hindi are present. Unidentified men have erased the Hindi text by smearing black ink at the BSNL customer service center, post office and a sign board which shows direction to Trichy airport.

Widespread anti-Hindi imposition protests have been taking place in the state after the three language system was mentioned in a draft policy of HRD. Though there is no protest on the ground, political parties have been opposing it and people have been discussing the issue widely on social media.

A similar kind of incident happened two weeks back when Hindi texts were written in the milestones at some northern districts of Tamil Nadu. Police is trying to identity the men who were involved in this.
