After Raghav Chadha, another Punjab MP's name missing from SIR draft roll

After Raghav Chadha, another Punjab MP's name missing from SIR draft roll. Two-time Congress MP from Patiala Dharamvira Gandhi says his name and those of his family members were missing from the draft electoral roll published under the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The development came just hours after BJP MP said that his name was marked as "shifted" in draft electoral rolls despite voter ID being registered in Mohali. Punjab's draft electoral rolls under the SIR exercise triggered fresh complaints from Dharamvir Gandhi and Raghav Chadha. The dispute has sharpened scrutiny of notices, omissions and the claims process before the final rolls.

Why it matters. The omission of prominent sitting MPs from official electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision highlights potential administrative lapses in the voter verification process that could affect general citizens.
