Name Removed from SIR, Pending in Tribunal! Despite Repeated Xerox Submissions, No Resolution, Bablu Ghosh Stands by the People of Farakka

**Farakka:** Even after names were removed from the voter list during SIR, many people's problems remain unresolved. Despite the elections being over, complaints have arisen that their names have not returned to the voter list. Locals claim that even after applying to the tribunal, many names are still in a 'pending' state. In hopes of resolving the issue, they have to rush to the BDO office or the relevant department at different times. Even after repeatedly submitting necessary documents through Xerox, no solution is forthcoming.

In this situation, especially keeping in mind the plight of bidi workers and migrant laborers, **Bablu Ghosh**, a representative of the food committee of the Farakka Panchayat Samiti and a social worker, has taken the initiative to stand by them.

Since Saturday morning, many people whose names have been removed from the voter list have started gathering at Bablu Ghosh's house. Some have original Aadhaar cards, while others have Xerox copies of their voter cards. A long line forms to report their problems and submit necessary documents.

It has been reported that **for the next seven days**, Xerox copies of necessary documents will be collected from people whose names have been removed from the voter list. After that, an initiative will be taken to start the necessary legal process through a lawyer from the High Court, as stated by Bablu Ghosh.

Most importantly, **no money will be charged from the general public** for this service. The organizers claim that document collection and assistance in the subsequent legal process will be completely free of charge.

Local residents have complained that although promises were made to stand by the general public before the elections, after the voting is over, many are no longer paying attention to the problems of those whose names have been removed from the voter list. Especially for laborers and migrant families, repeated visits to government offices have become extremely problematic.

In this situation, interest has arisen among locals regarding Bablu Ghosh's initiative to restore names in the voter list in Farakka. The focus now is on how many voters come under legal assistance through this seven-day document collection.
