Tension escalated in Thorrur, Mahabubabad district, on Monday as members of the BRS and the ruling Congress clashed during the municipal chairman election.

Without a decisive majority in the February 11 municipal polls, BRS secured nine wards, while Congress also gained nine after including an MLA and MP as ex-officio members.

The outcome may hinge on a draw of lots. Authorities restored order as the electoral process for mayors, deputy mayors, and chairpersons progressed across the state.
