Hyderabad: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi conducted a door-to-door campaign for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), which is set to begin on June 15 in Hyderabad and other districts of Telangana.

The campaign took place in the Yakutpura constituency while also participating in inauguration and foundation-laying programs.

Asaduddin Owaisi explains SIR in Hyderabad

During the campaign, he interacted with residents and explained the SIR process.

He stated that all eligible voters are required to fill out the enumeration form provided by Booth Level Officers (BLOs).

Asaduddin Owaisi urged citizens in Hyderabad to correctly understand the SIR process and participate in the voter verification exercise according to the prescribed guidelines.

Odisha, where the SIR of electoral rolls is taking place, has adopted the ‘panchnama’ route to resolve anomalies.

In the ‘panchnama’ route, signatures of people in the locality may be collected to resolve mapping anomalies.

Following are some of the anomalies identified during SIR in Odisha:

  • In case of mapping with parents:
  • In case of mapping with maternal/paternal grandparents:
  • More than six persons mapped with a single person listed in the 2002 SIR list.

In these cases, Odisha is taking the ‘panchnama’ route.

In Phase II, Uttar Pradesh and some other states took the documentation route to resolve it. Voters were asked to prove their relationship with the elector in the 2002 SIR list through any documents, not necessarily from the ECI-listed documents.

So far, it is unclear which process will be adopted in Telangana.

Yakutpura

Yakutpura is a historic neighborhood in Hyderabad, India, known for its rich cultural heritage and communal harmony. Its name derives from “Yakut,” a Persian word for ruby, and it was developed during the Qutb Shahi and Nizam eras, serving as a residential area for nobles and scholars. Today, it remains a vibrant locality with ancient mosques, bustling markets, and a blend of traditional Hyderabadi architecture.
