Hyderabad Celebrities Receive Notices in Election Commission's Electoral Roll Revision
Several prominent Hyderabad-based personalities, including actors Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Vijay Deverakonda, Mahesh Babu, director SS Rajamouli, and former cricketer VVS Laxman, have received notices as part of the Election Commission's ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Notices cite reasons such as name discrepancies or being 'unmapped' from the last SIR conducted in 2002-2004. Officials clarified that receiving a notice does not imply ineligibility to vote, and individuals can authorize representatives for verification hearings.
