Uttarakhand Congress Raises Concerns Over Voter List Deletions During SIR
The Uttarakhand Congress has raised concerns about alleged irregularities during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, claiming that numerous eligible voters' names were improperly deleted through fraudulent objections, particularly via Form-7. The party alleges that multiple objections were filed by single individuals, some untraceable or residing outside the state. Congress leaders petitioned the Election Commission, demanding an inquiry and a halt to deletions, while the poll panel scheduled a hearing with the party. The Congress has warned of protests and legal action if issues remain unresolved.
