A total of 5,427 polling stations have been set up for the elections and elaborate security arrangements have been made, the official said. Notably, in six wards, corporators were elected unopposed as no other candidates were in the fray, he said.

A large numbers of independent and rebel candidates are in the fray, which can upset the equations in many wards.
