BBMP helplines to redress voters' grievances

Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has launched helplines and control rooms to redress voters’ grievances.

A release from the BBMP said voters could approach these centres for election-related queries, including voter card and list, BBMP Commissioner Siddaiah said.

The list of voters in all the 28 assemblies is ready. However, addition, deletion and rectification of names are still open for voters. The public can submit forms 6, 7, 8 and 8A to the respective Assistant Electoral Registration officers.

Helpline Numbers

The following helpline numbers can be contacted for details: 22975500, 22975583, 22270142, 22270143 and 22270148.

Warning against poll banners

BBMP Commissioner Siddaiah, who is also the Bangalore Urban District Election Officer, has warned against putting up of hoardings and banners across the city illegally.

A press release from the BBMP said the election code of conduct had been in force since March 20 and putting up of banners and hoardings at public places was a violation of the election code of conduct.

The BBMP authorities would book cases under the Karnataka Open Places (Prevention of Disfigurement) Act if banners and hoardings were put up in the city, Siddaiah said.

He also said political parties should not utilise places of worship like temples, mosques and churches as platform for campaigns.
