As per an earlier plan, the poll panel was to visit Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh from January 7 to 10.
According to PTI, the plan has been revised, and the poll panel will visit Tamil Nadu later to review the state's preparedness for the LS polls. The assembly elections in the state are likely to be held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha polls.
