While the Coimbatore and Tiruppur district administrations braced for the commencement of filing of nominations by candidates on Wednesday, only one nomination was received in Coimbatore, with none reported in Tiruppur. According to the Election Commission of India’s schedule for Lok Sabha Elections 2024, the deadline for filing nominations is March 27.
In a related development, the DMK, as part of its manifesto, announced plans to extend the Coimbatore Metro Rail Project service to Tiruppur if the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc secures power in the elections.
