West Bengal Officers' Body Flags Large-Scale Voter Deletions from Draft Electoral Rolls

An association of West Bengal government officers has raised concerns with the Chief Electoral Officer regarding the deletion of over 58 lakh voters from the state's draft electoral rolls. The officers' body alleges "suo motu system-driven deletion" bypassed the role of electoral registration officers and potentially infringed on voters' rights by removing names without prior opportunity for hearing, citing specific legal provisions for deletion.
