Few months before LS election, Major blunders in electoral Roll surface
Ghost photo appears with 126 deleted names
DJ Venkatesh
Port Blair, Jan 19: Call it a major glitch in technology, total negligence or failure of system, major blunders have surfaced in the Electoral Roll of North and Middle Andaman.
It has been learnt that photo of an unknown old lady has appeared with as many as 128 names of voters, whose name have been deleted from North Andaman region electoral roll.
Forget about names of common man even against the name of the Pradhan of Diglipur Mr. P R Singaram photo of some other person surfaced, even after three corrections.
In entire Diglipur region alone there are 358 such blunders noted by public, which are related to wrong photos.
It has been learnt that similar mistakes are also reported from Middle Andaman region and Ferrargunj Tehsils of A & N Islands.
Most shocking matter is that even in Ferrargunj Tehsil photo of same lady appeared with several names.
Recently the electoral rolls of A & N Constituency carried out
corrections and published new data on 6 Jan 2014 . Major political parties and other persons filed their claims and objections on the data of the electoral rolls during the period as provided by the election commission to ensure the accuracy of the data and photographs incorporated in the electoral rolls, special campaigns involving the booth level agents of the political parties were held in all the polling stations across the islands.
Responding to the appeal, the political parties conducted door to door survey to verify the accuracy of the details in the draft electoral rolls, and thereby ensuring the required deletions and additions in the rolls apart from them media also motivated the people to get their names enrolled in the electoral list.
This is the third time the Electoral rolls corrections are being
carried out during these 4 years and everyone was hopeful that this time the island region with lesser population can update the Electoral rolls with the 100 percent enrollment of eligible voters.
But to their dismay this time also corrections are not up to the mark.
As per notification from Election office all panchayat officers
displayed electoral rolls at panchayats and correction if any to be intimated before 20th of this month. So people from all the places thronged to panchayat offices to see their names in list. The staff of Panchayat BLO’s also lashed by the public regarding the mistakes.
It is learnt that the Deputy Commissioner, Mr. Sanjay Kumar I.A.S. who was camping at Port Blair had recently asked all the electoral card staffs of N & M Andaman sub division to report at Port Blair Electoral Office with the Data but the outcome is still now known.
Hope atleast before the elections the blunders are rectified. This year’s National Voters’ Day (25th January) slogan is “Proud To Be A Voter, Ready To Vote” but with faulty data who will be proud and get ready to vote? Hope this time the Electoral Office will get all these mistakes corrected.
Overloaded trucks make mockery of Road Safety Week
DJ Venkatesh
Diglipur, Jan 16: On one hand the Andaman and Nicobar Police is celebrating road safety week but on the other hand overloaded trucks are making mockery of traffic rules.
It seems that taking inspiration from the truck drivers of Port Blair city, now the truck drivers of Diglipur have also started taking extra loads in their trucks at Diglipur Island, putting lives of others in danger.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands have already witnessed several terrible truck accidents in past, which occurred due to overloading but it seems that truck drivers have learnt no lesson from past and for them profit is the only motto.
Andaman Sheekha today spotted yet another overloaded truck at Diglipur. The truck bearing registration number AN 01, A-4195 was found carrying excessive load of steel rods and five persons. Surprisingly a PCR van was present just behind the overloaded truck but no challan was imposed on the truck.
Earlier, on 9th January 2014 Andaman Sheekha had published news regarding a tipper truck, bearing registration number AN-01, B 6523, which was carrying excessive loads of Steel Rods for some construction site of MES. According to reports, when the Truck was coming out of the Aerial Bay Jetty and was crossing a speed breaker, the front portion of the truck went upward and was hanging on mid-air while the rear half was touching ground with the excessive load of steel rods.
On 27 March 2012 Two labourers died when hundreds of steel rods from a heavily overloaded truck spilled on road and also over the labourers, who were sitting on the truck with those steel rods.
Again on March 30, 2013, a private truck laden with stone dust overturned near Swarajgram, Diglipur resulting in on the spot death of eight persons and seriously injuring to two persons and minor injuries to seven others.
It is good that traffic department is celebrating Road Safety Week, infact the Traffic unit at Port Blair is doing a very good job but the actual benefits of Road Safety Week will not reach up to the people until and unless stringent action is taken on those truck drivers, who repeatedly violate law by operating overloading trucks.
