As many as 1,122 candidates are in the fray for 150 wards in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections.
While the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is contesting in all the wards, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is contesting in 149, the Congress in 146, and the MIM in 51 wards.
The polling, which started at 7 am, will close at 6 pm today.
The TRS is putting all its efforts to retain power in the civic body, while the BJP, which upset the TRS by defeating it in the recent byelection to the Dubbak assembly seat, is making all-out efforts to wrest power from the ruling party.
Thousands of people from the neighbouring States of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have left for their native places last week to cash in on a streak of four consecutive holidays, which ends today (the polling day).
