Spirited electioneering ends without untoward incidents

It was intense as rural civic polls are fought on party and caste lines

Intense electioneering for the first phase of rural civic polls, scheduled for Wednesday, ended on Monday evening without any toward incident.

Unlike the Parliamentary and Assembly polls, electioneering for the rural civic polls, to be held in two phases in Tirunelveli and Tenkasi districts, is intense as it is being fought on party and caste lines. Though the State Election Commission has imposed restrictions and stipulated poll codes, the candidates spent a lot and used as many vehicles as they can deploy for the campaign.
