Officials said returning officers can recommend a repoll if such interference is detected, amid concerns over possible disturbances during voting.The Union Territory’s 30-seat Assembly is witnessing a contest primarily between the ruling NDA– led by All India N.R. Congress (AINRC) and BJP — and the Congress-DMK alliance, with actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) also in the fray, seeking to make it triangular.
