Owaisi Urges Telangana Government to Issue Permanent Residence Certificates for Voter Inclusion
Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has urged the Telangana government to issue Permanent Residence Certificates (PRCs) or Family Register Certificates during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. He emphasized that issuing these certificates under Article 162 would help vulnerable groups, including the poor and minorities, secure their voter registration. Owaisi cited Telangana's existing databases as sufficient for issuing PRCs and referenced Karnataka's similar practice. He called on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to implement this measure to prevent exclusion from voter lists.
