No incidents of violence had been reported from anywhere in the state, officials said. The voting process, however, got delayed in some booths of West Tripura, Khowai, Unakoti districts as election workers could not connect the EVMs or electronic voting machines, he said.
“Engineers rushed to the booths and put everything in order,” he added. BJP leader Sudip Roy Burman and ruling CPI(M) leader Krishna Majumder, both candidates from the Agartala constituency, had earlier in the day claimed that voting in a few polling stations in the state capital were held up for more than 90 minutes because of EVM glitches.
Roy refuted the claims and said all voting machines were working. State Director General of Police Akhil Kumar Shukla said security measures had been put in place across Tripura for the Assembly polls.
