He said no major complaint of wrongdoing was received from any political parties.

"Dressed in colourful attires, people were seen standing in long queues at most of the 1,605 polling stations as soon as voting began at 7 a.m. Clear sky with excellent weather encouraged voters to come to the polling booths early," Jindal added.

"First-time voters and women were enthusiastic after casting their vote," the official said, quoting reports from the districts.

"In some booths, due to technical snags in electronic voting machines (EVMs), voting was delayed for a while, but engineers either replaced or rectified the EVMs at once and balloting started as usual," he said.

Polling in the tribal reserved Tripura East constituency will be held April 12.

In 2009, CPI-M's Khagen Das defeated Sudip Roy Barman of the Congress.
