Mangalore, Feb 23: With elections for the urban local bodies scheduled for March 7, candidates of different political parites made their way to MCC office on Saturday February 23 to file nominations amidst much fanfare and pomp.
Though instructions had been issued to the political parties to keep the process a low key affair, it did not seem to dampen their spirits or deter them from cheering their candidates with slogan-shouting and what not.
Officials from different branches have been chosen to verify and receive the nominations filed by the candidates. The 60 wards have been divided into different parts and the candidates are to submit their nominations in the area prescribed by the officials.
Only limited number of people were allowed inside the corporation office, so as to avoid congestion. Tight police security was also deployed on the spot to avoid any unwanted situations as all parties were present.
Candidates from different wards arrived along with their supporters and some even came in processions. A large crowd was gathered in front of the MCC office, shouting slogans in support of their respective parties and candidates.
