4.7-intensity quake hits Assam

TURA: A voters’ awareness campaign was organised here recently as part of the Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) programme.
The campaign, organised by the West Garo Hills DC (election), was to sensitise people about the importance of electoral photo identity card. DC Pravin Bakshi urged the people, especially young voters, to enroll themselves. Those who want to enroll have to fill Form 6 and submit it to booth level officers at respective polling stations.
Bakshi also urged all citizens who wish to enroll as well as those who want to make corrections or deletions to furnish proper documents in support of their claims and objections to ensure an error-free electoral roll that will be published on January 1, 2017.
Such campaigns, which also aimed at encouraging school students and people with disabilities who are turning 18 on or before January 1, 2017, are being organised in all blocks to propagate the message of the special summary revision of electoral rolls.
The last date for submission of enrollment form is October 31.
