Major negligence of the administration has come to light in the voter list revision work (SIR) in Mahoba. The names of about 2300 villagers, including the head of Srinagar Gram Panchayat of Kabrai development block, have been missing from the voter list. The surprising thing is that even the name of the present head is not in the list. After complaining about this matter, the SDM has asked to fill the claim form and get the name added.

With the sound of three-tier Panchayat elections in Uttar Pradesh, the work of revising the voter list is going on at a fast pace. But in Mahoba district, such negligence of BLO and related employees has been exposed, which has raised questions on the entire election process.

Village head’s name removed from voter list

According to the information, the matter pertains to Srinagar Gram Panchayat of Kabrai development block. Where not one or two, but entire 2300 voters have been shown the way out of the list. The most shocking fact is that the current village head of Srinagar, Ashish Rajput himself has fallen prey to this negligence.

The names of Ashish Rajput as well as other members of his family and thousands of respected voters of the village are missing from the voter list. This major mistake made in a cursory manner has created a stir among the villagers. The distressed village head hastily reached the office of District Magistrate Ghazal Bhardwaj and pleaded for justice.

Voter list is being revised again – SDM

Taking cognizance of this serious matter, Mahoba SDM Shivdhyan Pandey said that the voter list is being amended under the instructions of the State Election Commission. Investigation is being done on the complaint given by Srinagar village head. The administration says that those whose names have been removed from the list should not panic. Voters can submit their claim by filling the relevant form between December 24 and December 30.

However, now the question arises that due to whose carelessness such a large number of names were deleted? At present, villagers and heads have started the process of filling forms to get back their democratic rights.
