Tripura Election 2018: Polling in the Tripura Assembly election begins on a peaceful note

Polling in the Tripura Assembly election began on a peaceful note at 7 am today amid massive security arrangements.
Voting is being held in 59 of the total 60 seats due to the death of the CPI(M) candidate for the Charilam constituency, Ramendra Narayan Deb Barma, six days ago. The Charilam constituency will go to polls on March 12.
Voters were seen queuing up at polling stations across the state since morning. Voting will end at 4 pm in all the 3,214 polling stations in the state, election office sources said.
Altogether 307 candidates are in the fray with the CPI(M), the major partner of the ruling Left Front, contesting 56 seats and its constituents -- RSP, Forward Bloc and CPI -- one seat each.
The BJP, which forged a pre-poll alliance with tribal outfit Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura (IPFT), has fielded 51 candidates. The IPFT, an anti-Left party, will contest the remaining nine.
