New Delhi: Three days before Delhi assembly elections, Delhi election commission has found that over one lakh duplicate voters' entries are registered in UP-NCR voters list.
45 thousand voter entries in Gautambudh Nagar and over 67 thousand Delhi duplicate voter entries have been found.
To avoid bogus voting, the Delhi election commission has asked the UP-NCR administration to verify these entries and submit reports by February 5. Over two thousand staffs have been deployed to execute the massive drive within short span of time.
" We have formed teams to complete the work before February 7. Our 447 booth level officers and 40 supervisors are working on the project. 80 percent work to verify 45 thousand voter entries have been completed and we will submit the final report by February 5," said Gautambudh Nagar sub divisional magistrate Rajesh Yadav.
Yadav also added that the administration cannot say that all duplicate voters entries were made for only bogus voting. Apart from Noida, nearly 67178 duplicate voter entries have also been found that are registered both in Delhi and Ghaziabad.
According to officials, to get their properties registered in Delhi, Adhaar card is mandatory and people, who used to deal in Delhi-NCR property sale-purchase used to maintain voter cards in Delhi and UP-NCR as well to use it as identity proof.
