Patna: Special Intensive Amendment (SIR) of the electoral rolls in Bihar has gained momentum with 57% (4.5 crore) of 7.89 crore nominated voters who presented their calculations till Wednesday. But this process has thrown an urban-rural division, toi found after talking to officials and people in areas. While the authorities were seen taking the form on the basis of Aadhaar card in Patna, not many people were ready to accept the card in the limits and other parts of rural Bihar, where the birth certificate or, in turn, was being emphasized on caste or land allocation documents.Toi hit the ground for a reality check and found that booth level officers (BLOS), Jeevika Didis, Shiksha Mitras and Anganwadi Sevikas distribute rapid assessment forms in the villages and towns of Bihar.In Patna and nearby areas, voters said that they have been asked to fill the form and sign in and submit a copy of their voter ID card, Aadhaar or ration card, if they have none of the 11 documents required by the Election Commission.Don’t worry, just provide your Aadhaar card, “Rahul Yadav, a ward councilor, was seen telling a group of concerned women. The Aadhaar and Ration Cards are not included in the list of 11 documents compulsory by EC, which protest widespread protests from the opposition India block.But, in fact, in urban areas such as Patna, some Blosses say that they have been asked to fill and signed and upload the forms of trauma only by the existing voters as the EC states that other necessary documents can be presented later. July 25 is the last date to submit the form. Ramshish of Bikram region of Patna district said that Bloss, who distributed the form, initially asked him to present the documents listed by the EC. “Since very few people had any of the 11 listed documents, the villagers were reluctant. But now they have been asked to fill only mother, father, husband -wife’s name, Aadhaar card number and mobile number columns. That is why Sir Exercise has gained momentum in the last few days.” Many voters enrolled in urban areas of East Champaran district are getting their names in voter lists of their respective villages, where they have taken out the property, Motihari, Rakul, Suguli, Areraj and Bloos in Chakia. Shivani, a teacher from Urvarak Nagar in Begsarai, said, “Blow asked for my voter ID and Aadhaar card and I had no difficulty.” Kalyanesh Aggarwal of Chatti Road area in Begsarai said that the verification process was smooth. SBSS College Principal Awadhesh Kumar Singh said that Blow visited his house and the process was conducted without any hassle. In Patna, people were seen at the John Suvidha Kendra in their areas in their areas. Former councilor Bharti Devi said that there was confusion among the people about the necessary documents. “But we are getting the form filled to deposit them in Blo,” he said. Born in 1949, Duharani Devi of Mushari Tola feared that her name would hit the voter list. “Some people in my area said that if I do not have some papers, I will not be allowed to vote. I only have Aadhaar card and voter ID card. Will I be removed from my hut,” he asked. He was told that now a base would bring a smile on his face.Aadhaar is not valid hereHowever, the real challenge for EC to look for one of the 11 documents seems to be in the boundary area of ​​Kishanganj, Purnia, Araria and Katihar districts, where people did not have proper documents and desperate to obtain residential certificates, stood in long queues in block offices. In the first week of this month, more than two lakh applications have been submitted in Kingdanj district alone. BJP Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary said, “It is worrisome and should be investigated.”About a dozen blossoms in rural areas of East Champaran district, when contacted, said that since the Aadhaar card is not a valid document and a birth certificate for nomination as a voter, they suggest that voters provide either caste certificate or land allocation certificate or any specific family register. At least two to five members of a family have moved to urban areas for a long time and are not available in villages.In Rupni village, in the Patahi block of Eastern Champaran, about 25 families are facing this problem because they have no papers. A female voter said, “We have only voter cards and have cast their votes on that basis in earlier elections. Those who are working elsewhere are also making it difficult to fill them in form. Shyam Bihari Ojha, a railway employee posted in Bongaon, West Bengal, said that he is a resident of Babaghan near Arra in Bhojpur district. He said, “I can’t take a holiday to visit my village for my parents’ documents, as is required from 11 documents. My father does not even know about electoral roll amendment. My parents do not have a birth certificate or any other document, except Aadhaar card.” Under Haspura block in Aurangabad district, Vivek Kumar of village Ratanpur said that his family’s family got only four forms. He said, “We have been asked to attach the documents like a copy of a matriculation certificate, Aadhaar card and residential certificate with each form,” he said. Since not all documents are available, they may face problems in maintaining their names in the voter list.Dhananjay Yadav of Baluan, Ara said that he is a district council member, but he has not yet got the form of calculation. Satyadeva of Bhakura village has 10 eligible voters in the family, but only three forms were found. There are similar complaints in Ara including Kamlesh Kumar. A blo in ARA said that many voters – especially the elderly – are reluctant to present their land ownership documents without birth or any academic certificate.In Bhagalpur, Indradev Yadav said that he and many others were camping in Babupur as their Diara area was flooded. “Where will we buy documents from where?” He asked. Manohar Mandal, Jitendra Kumar, Anil Rai and Bhairo Paswan, from the river area, said that this was not the right time for such practice. There was a mixed reaction in Gaya district. While many people said that the process was easy, some voters complained that they did not get the form. Anwar Hussain of Murarpur in Gaya city said that all his 13 family members filled the forms and handed them over to Blows. Anju Kumari of New Godown area said that BLO collected forms with a copy of a matriculation certificate.
