Concerns Raised Over Voter Deletions Following India's Special Intensive Revision
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in India has led to significant voter deletions and disputes. In Bihar, the CPI(ML)L alleges wrongful removals and additions affecting election outcomes, demanding a halt to SIR and removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. In Kolkata, affected voters protest delays in appeal processes and seek restoration. In Arunachal Pradesh, Chakma and Hajong communities report mass deletions, attributing them to discrimination and planning appeals. The Election Commission faces criticism amid ongoing concerns over SIR's implementation and impact.
