Initial stages of election in Coimbatore proceed smoothly, with no incidents reported and extensive security measures in place.
With the scrutiny of nominations filed by candidates for the upcoming Assembly election completed on Tuesday, the initial stages of the exercise were incident-free in Coimbatore.
Officials attached to the Coimbatore City Police said all measures have been taken for the smooth conduct of election.
The city police have made nearly 600 persons, such as history-sheeters and those who create public nuisance, to execute bonds, assuring good behaviour.
The force, led by City Police Commissioner N. Kannan, took out flag marches in different parts of the city to instil confidence among the public and ensure smooth polling.
Officials said that no incidents of violence or clashes between supporters of contestants were reported in the city since the date for the election was announced.
Election observers were largely impressed with the arrangements and the law and order situation in the run-up to the polls, they said.

The West Asia crisis has thrown the manufacturing sector into disarray, causing significant operational bottlenecks that show no signs of easing. This situation is affecting port operations, shipping activities, container movement, and energy supply — particularly Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). These disruptions are driving costs higher, say industry players, expressing fears about a much bleaker future if conditions do not improve.
