Aizawl: Mizoram’s NGO Coordination Committee comprising of three major NGOs and two student organisations on Wednesday decided to take steps to ensure revision of voters’ list is not conducted in the six Bru relief camps in Tripura.
In a meeting of the central committee of the Young Mizo Association (YMA), attended by 21 representatives of the civil societies, the NGO Coordination Committee strongly condemned the Election Commission’s instruction to conduct a special summary revision of electoral rolls in the Tripura Bru relief camps.
“No election officials should be allowed to undertake the task of revision of voters’ lists in the relief camps,” a resolution adopted at the meeting said.
It was also decided that another meeting with all political parties would be held on the issue and an unified movement would be launched.
Meanwhile, the state Home Department has informed the Election Commission and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs on the issue.
The Home department has warned the EC that a serious law and order situation would occur in Mizoram if the poll panel conducts the revision of voters’ list in the Tripura Bru relief camps.
The EC took the decision to conduct a special summary revision of the electoral rolls in the Bru relief camps after pleas from the Mizoram Bru Displaced People’s Forum (MBDPF), the apex body of Bru refugees and the poll panel instructed electoral registration officers of all constituencies in Mizoram, where the Bru voters were enrolled, to go to the camps and hold on the spot hearings.
