Pune district

couple of days.
Interacting
with media, Rao said that a preliminary report in this regard has been already
submitted to the chief electoral officer. "Out of total number of
complaints that we have received so far, majority of the complaints are
regarding deletion of names from the voters' list. There are some complains
where names of one or two members of family are deleted and we are going to
carry out an inquiry regarding such deletion. We are scrutinising each and
every complaint," Rao added.
Out of the
total applications received so far, maximum of 112 applications are from Kasba
Peth constituency, 107 are from Cantonment, 96 from Parvati, 80 applications
from Kothrud, 45 from Shivajinagar and 27 are from Wadgaon Sheri constituency.
The election office has also received 13 complaints on e-mail and 10 RTI
applications. Apart from these applications, ten RTI applications have been
filed with the Election Office, one writ-petition and one PIL has also been
filed regarding missing names from the voters' list.
Will
probably opt for decentralisation method
Based on the
experience of April 17 when the website of the Chief Electoral Office was
crashed due to heavy traffic on the site, Saurabh Rao said, "
Decentralisation is the method where voters list can also be made available at
other government website and I have made that suggestion to the Chief Electoral
Office for the upcoming phase of voting in Mumbai, Thane, Nashik and
Aurangabad."
