Displaced Delhi Families Face Electoral Registration Challenges Amid Roll Revision
Following a demolition drive near Delhi's Race Course on June 14, hundreds of families, including elderly residents like Lallu Jaik and Uma Devi, were relocated to DUSIB flats in Savda Ghevra. Amid the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Delhi's electoral rolls, many displaced residents face confusion about where to submit voter registration forms and which address to use, as their previous homes no longer exist. Officials have not provided clear guidance, and returning to old settlements for forms imposes financial and physical challenges, especially for the elderly.
