She urged the people to "vote for a better Puducherry."

A team of students from a professional college sang the anthem during the programme, organised by the State Election Commission of Puducherry.

The anthem in Tamil seeks to spread the message that a person's vote is precious and sacrosanct. Composed by S Chitra, a teacher of government higher secondary school in Karaikal District, the anthem will be played at various centres, an official added.

Election Officer P Jawahar and a host of officials were among those present.
