Chandigarh MP Seeks Transparency on Voter Roll Reductions in SIR Process
Chandigarh MP Manish Tewari has raised concerns over a significant reduction in the city's electoral rolls during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. From 6,59,805 electors in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, only about 3,02,000 have been retained without scrutiny, with over 1,38,000 notices issued. Tewari has written to Chief Electoral Officer Prema Puri seeking detailed, elector-wise information on deletions and notices, demanding transparency in the revision exercise. Election officials have yet to respond publicly.
