New Delhi: The names of 1.4 lakh voters are missing from voter list in Jamia Nagar says Abdur Rashid Agwan the convener of Volunteers of Change (VoC) an NGO working actively for the development of this Muslim dominated pocket of South Delhi.
Apart from that approximately the names of one lakh new voters are yet to be registered in the voting list who have grown eligible to utilize their right to vote in Okhla. It was reported that names of lots of people have been removed from voter lists. To ensure maximum participation of voters, people need to issue voter identity cards and for this, they need right direction and correct guidance, he added.
But the community organizations complain that political parties, who need their votes, have not come out to aware and encourage people to apply for voter identity card.
“Neither they raise local issues of political nature nor they come forward for helping voters in their registration” said Abdul Rashid Agwan.
“All India Muslim Majlis Mashawirat (Delhi) in collaboration with VoC organized three camps which guided hundreds of people to get their names registered in the voters list, but it is not enough for the large population of this constituency. In more than 30 colonies of Okhla, we need at least 100 Guidance camps” says Agwan.
Agwan asks the political parties to make their workers sit with a table-chair in different corners of Okhla and help people check their names in the voter list and apply for it properly.
