Hyderabad Electoral Roll Revision Flags Over 50,000 Anomalies, One-Fourth Electorate Marked ASD
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Hyderabad's electoral rolls has flagged over 50,000 electors in Old City constituencies as anomalies and classified nearly one-fourth of the total electorate as absent, shifted, or dead (ASD). Chandrayangutta recorded the highest numbers in both categories. Verification efforts include extensive enumeration form checks, with officials urging voters to submit forms by the extended deadline to ensure inclusion in the draft rolls. Detailed breakdowns of ASD categories are pending further verification.
