Technical glitches

According to an official release issued by East Godavari Collector Ch. Hari Kiran, the result of the two MPTC seats had to be put on hold as termites have eaten the ballot papers of the Pulimeru MPTC segment in the Peddapuram division. In the Dorachintalapalem segment in Maredumilli Mandal, the ballot papers have been found wet.

In the case of ZPTC results, the result has not been declared as the ballot papers of the Dorachintalapalem segment in Maredumilli Mandal have been found wet.
