Tension at Chinnalapatti over cash for votes complaint

DMK functionary is alleged to have distributed money to voters

Polling across Dindigul district was by and large peaceful on Tuesday but for a minor clash between cadres owing allegiance to two parties at Chinnalapatti, and technical glitch in the electronic voting machines at two places. Elaborate arrangements had been made at al the polling stations in Athoor, Vedasandur, Palani, Dindigul, Natham, Nilakottai and Oddanchatram Assembly constituencies in the district. Additional police personnel and micro observers were posted at places identified as vulnerable stations.
