Imphal, March 06 2022:
Even as the last phase of polling was held on Saturday, one 34 year old woman in Sugnu Constituency was denied her right to vote as her name was found removed from the voter's list along with other deceased persons from the Constituency.
The woman has been identified as Sarangthem Bala, w/o S Sanatomba from Kakching Khunou Lamhaba Leikai.
Speaking to media persons, S Bala stated that she came to know of the situation only after visiting a polling station set up at Tampakmayum Lower Primary School to cast vote.
Asking on whose approval her name was removed from the list, Bala stated that robbing a person of his/her voting rights which come only once every five year should be taken seriously.
This is a sign of sheer negligence on the part of the BLO concerned, she said and urged the authority concerned to look into the matter.
