During Delhi’s Special Intensive Revision of the electoral roll, the Election Commission has served notices to several high‑profile voters, including a former RBI Governor and a 125‑year‑old resident, over alleged discrepancies.
The Delhi Election Commission has launched a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the city’s voter list, a process aimed at cleaning up anomalies before upcoming elections. The exercise, announced earlier this month, involves a detailed verification of entries that were flagged as inconsistent or incomplete.
As part of the SIR, notices have been issued to a handful of prominent individuals whose records showed irregularities. Among them are a former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and Shyam Mukhiya, a resident who reportedly turned 125 years old, both of whom have been asked to provide documentary proof of identity and residence.
Election officials said the notices are routine and do not imply any wrongdoing; they simply seek to confirm the authenticity of each entry. Recipients have been given a deadline of ten days to submit the required documents, after which the Commission will decide whether to retain or delete the entries from the electoral roll.
The move underscores the Commission’s commitment to ensuring a clean and credible voter database, a critical factor for the integrity of the forthcoming polls in the capital.
