Jagran correspondent, Moradabad. The Special Intensive Revision of Voter List (SIR) campaign has emerged as a new problem for love marriage couples and people with broken family ties. Due to lack of documents and lack of proof related to their maternal home, many women are forced to wander to save their identity and voting rights.
Ajay Kumar, a resident of Kazipur, Kanth Road, had a love marriage with Anjali, a resident of Gokulpuri, Delhi. Both of them have two small children and support their family by working as normal labourers. Recently, during the SIR campaign, Anjali received a notice in which her maternal address, documents related to her parents and voter number were sought. Anjali's parents died in her childhood.
After love marriage, relations with family also broke. In such a situation, no person or evidence related to the maternal house could be available. After receiving the notice, Anjali sent her husband to Delhi in search of his old hideout, but no concrete information could be found from there either. She returned disappointed. The husband could not contact his brother and other relatives either.
On Friday, Ajay took his wife to Vikas Bhawan, where the hearing related to SIR was going on. Even after waiting for hours the solution could not be found. The officials kept the case pending citing lack of necessary documents. Similarly, the story of Shubham, resident of Jawahar Nagar is also no different. He was married to Shivani of Kashipur (Uttarakhand) three years ago.
Shubham's parents have died and he was raised by his grandmother. He had no idea that to get his wife voted, documents related to her parents would also be asked. Shivani sent Shubham to Kashipur, from where he brought grandmother's Aadhar card and voter number. Despite this, Shivani's problem could not be solved.
Both husband and wife are making rounds of offices every day while taking care of their small children. Ajay and Shubham tell that their lives have become disorganized after receiving the notice. We earn daily, only then the house runs. One has to leave work to stand in line, which spoils the entire month's budget.
The hearing of SIR is going on at three places in Vikas Bhawan. Additional District Panchayat Raj Officer in the Panchayati Raj Department is looking after the case of a single woman, who has been abandoned by her family and her husband has died. The woman is not even able to collect voter information of her parents. Shahana, a resident of Premnagar, was also found standing in a queue outside the office of the Disabled Welfare Officer. She has got the voter list extracted from her parents' home, which contains her and her parents' names, yet the process could not be completed.
Efforts are on to solve his problem. District Disabled Welfare Officer Vijay Yadav said that teams have been deployed to remove the problems faced in mapping and verification during SIR. People are being helped by showing voter lists through BLOs and supervisors. Our effort is to ensure that no one faces any problems.
