Voters’ list error: Civic body gets 1,500 plaints
In response to the ward wise voters’ list notified by the
Brahmapur Municipal Corporation (BMC) on April 22 last inviting
suggestions from the voters for correction, the BMC reportedly received
more than 1,500 complaints pertaining to non-availability of names in
voters’ list, change of polling booths, names of voters of a single
family found at several places and a host of similar discrepancies.
The last date for receiving the complaints was Thursday on which the
highest 812 voters, mostly from ward (4), complained of discrepancies.
While 414 voters of ward (4) complained that their name did not figure
in the voters’ list, more than 70 alleged that their names were
arbitrarily placed under other wards.
According to the BMC sources, only after a close scrutiny and
examination of the complaints, a decision would be taken to make
necessary corrections in the list.
