Karnataka drought crisis: Deputy CM seeks united House debate, Central govt aid for farmers
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 19 (IANS) Karnatakas development, addressing people's problems and protecting the interests of farmers affected by drought are the government's priorities, state Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara said on Saturday. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Parameshwara, who also holds the revenue portfolio, said the government was working to address the drought situation in the state by holding a comprehensive discussion and taking the Opposition into confidence to help farmers overcome the difficulties. He said the special session of the legislative assembly had been convened to discuss the drought situation and explore measures to provide relief. The entire state is facing a drought situation. There should be a comprehensive discussion on this issue in the House. We need to discuss in a united manner what measures should be taken for drought relief and what kind of assistance should be sought from the Centre. This is the purpose of convening the special session, he said. Parameshwara said the Kasturirangan report would also be discussed during the three-day special session. He urged Opposition parties to actively participate in discussions on issues concerning people. While the right to protest is part of a democracy and the government does not oppose it, he said every issue should be considered in its appropriate time and context. It is not appropriate to use every issue for political purposes. People are watching everything, he said. On coastal development, Parameshwara said the government had accorded special priority to the overall development of the coastal region, including tourism, roads, bridges and other infrastructure. For the first time in history, a Cabinet meeting was held in Mangaluru, and important decisions were taken on 61 issues. The government's objective is to implement development projects that directly benefit people in the coastal region, he said. On the Congress manifesto, Parameshwara said it was like the government's basic guiding document and that fulfilling promises made to the people was its responsibility. He said the promises made under the leadership of Siddaramaiah had been fulfilled during the last three years and the same commitment was being continued under Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. The deputy CM added that the government was functioning after taking Siddaramaiah's experience and views into consideration. Parameshwara also said local body elections would be held, followed by Zilla Panchayat, Taluk Panchayat and Gram Panchayat elections in phases. He said the state government was taking steps to fill vacancies across various departments, with the recruitment process underway for around 72,000 posts. More than 900 surveyor posts in the Revenue Department were also being filled, he said, adding that vacancies would continue to be filled based on the requirements of various departments.

Digital Desk | Mangaluru (Karnataka), Sep 19 (IANS) Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar made a surprise visit to the Mangaluru Port early on Saturday morning and inspected the fishing yard, jetties and fish market. He also interacted with fishermen and traders and heard their concerns. District In-charge Minister U.T. Khader, Congress leaders Padmaraj and Inayat Ali, former president of the Dakshina Kannada District Trawl Boat Fishermens Association Chetan Bengre, Mohan Bengre and other local leaders were present during the visit. Speaking to the media later, CM Shivakumar said he had visited the port a long time ago and had heard the problems faced by the fishermen and others associated with the sector. I got up at 5 a.m. and came here along with District In-charge Minister U.T. Khader. They have given us a list of their problems and I am also witnessing them with my own eyes. We have to come out with solutions, he said. CM Shivakumar said the government had plans to develop the maritime and fisheries sectors and promote the blue economy. He said a university would be established in this sector and the number of student seats would be increased from 40 to 50 and eventually to 200. We are coming out with a new master plan for education connected to the sea and water, he said. The Chief Minister said the government had also announced several programmes related to sea connectivity. He said Karnataka currently did not have passenger or goods transportation from one place to another through the sea and that the government planned to introduce such services, including a sea Metro. There are a lot of issues here. My district minister is here and he will attend to them and resolve them, Shivakumar said. He said some of the decisions taken by the government would not be limited to the coastal region but would cover the development of rural areas across the state. Such programmes would be implemented through gram panchayats and local bodies, he added. Asked about appreciation from NRIs over the decision regarding Tulu language, Shivakumar said the language had a long history and that the sentiments of people living in the region and those who were born there should be respected. We have to respect the sentiments and the language has a big history. We have to ensure that the language does not get wiped off. We should encourage them, he said. Shivakumar said there had been a demand for the move cutting across party lines. He said the other party had been unable to take the decision and that he had decided to proceed with it. The Cabinet meeting was held for the first time in history and we made history. Still, a lot of decisions are on the way, he said.

Kasturirangan report: Karnataka govt to decide on physical survey after discussion with officials
Digital Desk | Udupi (Karnataka), Sep 18 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Friday assured residents of the Malnad and coastal regions that the state government would discuss with officials and take a decision on conducting a physical survey of areas covered under the Kasturirangan report. Shivakumar made the assurance while interacting with local residents at Hebri in Udupi district on the merits and demerits of the Kasturirangan report. Local organisations and elected representatives had urged the state government to conduct a physical survey and consider the Kerala model while deciding on the implementation of the report. You have explained the Kasturirangan report and the ecologically sensitive areas and brought the problems you are facing to my attention. We have to send our decision to the Centre by September 27. We have come here so that your opinion becomes our opinion. You have suggested the Kerala model and recommended an expert committee. We have accepted your suggestions and will discuss these issues in the Karnataka Assembly, Shivakumar said. He added that the state government had convened a three-day special session to discuss issues concerning farmers, drought and the Kasturirangan report. The report would be discussed on the first day of the Assembly session, he said. I will also visit Shivamogga and Chikkamagaluru and listen to the sentiments of the people there, he added. On the Forest Rights Act, Shivakumar said there was a provision prescribing different time limits, including 25 years for some and 75 years for others. The state government would consider taking a decision to prescribe a uniform 25-year limit and send it to the Centre, he added. He said that he had instructed Forest Department officials not to cause difficulties to people residing in forest areas. We will not do politics based on emotions. We are concerned about your lives, Shivakumar added. He said that important decisions had been taken regarding fisheries and that representatives from the region had sought a zonal management plan and a taluk hospital in Hebri. The state government would discuss these demands with officials and take decisions in the coming days, he added. I do not want to make announcements before you and then forget about them. I will do whatever service I can with the opportunity I have received. I will come to Udupi in the coming days and discuss the issues with elected representatives, he said. Shivakumar added that the people of Tulu Nadu region were an asset to the country and assured them that the state government would continue to seek their suggestions. He said a special Cabinet meeting had been held in Mangaluru after discussions with legislators and representatives of all parties from the region. Of the 60 decisions taken at the meeting, 40 were related to the coastal districts, he added. He also referred to the Cabinet decision to recognise Tulu as the second additional administrative language in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. He said the state government had given priority to tourism in the coastal and Malnad regions and approved several development measures to attract investment and prevent migration. Representatives of various organisations and elected representatives urged the state government to constitute an expert committee and conduct a physical survey before taking further decisions on the Kasturirangan report. They said the report covers around 13,000 square km in Kerala and around 20,000 square km in Karnataka. According to them, Kerala conducted a physical survey through a high-level officials' committee, separating inhabited areas from forest areas and reducing the area covered by the report to around 9,000 square km. They claimed that a similar exercise in Karnataka could potentially exclude around 5,000 square km from the report's coverage. The representatives said the Kasturirangan committee had relied on satellite and GPS-based surveys and had not conducted a physical survey. They also raised concerns over the inclusion of areas with more than 100 residents and regions with less than 20 per cent protected forest cover. They said the report had created apprehension among residents that they could eventually be displaced and urged the state government to create awareness about its actual provisions. The representatives urged the state government to conduct a physical survey and place its findings before the Centre, the Supreme Court and the National Green Tribunal to resolve the concerns. It can be noted that the Kasturirangan Committee was set up by the Union government in 2012 under the chairmanship of K. Kasturirangan to examine the recommendations of the Gadgil Committee on protecting the Western Ghats. The committee recommended identifying parts of the Western Ghats as Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESA). It proposed restrictions on certain activities such as mining, quarrying, large construction projects and some industrial activities in ESA areas. The recommendations cover parts of six states: Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Goa, Maharashtra and Gujarat. In Karnataka, the recommendations have faced opposition from residents, farmers and local organisations, who have raised concerns about restrictions on agriculture, development and property rights

Karnataka cabinet gives Tulu official language status
Digital Desk | Mangaluru, Sep 18 (IANS) The Karnataka government on Friday announced Tulu as the states second additional administrative language alongside Kannada, began the process of renaming Dakshina Kannada district as Mangaluru district, and approved development projects worth Rs 32,611 crore for the coastal region. The Cabinet took these decisions at a special historic meeting held in Mangaluru. Addressing the media with Cabinet colleagues, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said the Cabinet had unanimously decided to recognise Tulu as an additional administrative language in Dakshina Kannada (Mangaluru) and Udupi districts. He noted that the decision followed a long-standing demand from Tulu-speaking people, organisations, and public representatives for official recognition of the language. Tulu is spoken prominently in the coastal districts. We will not discuss why the previous government did not take this decision. We will not do politics based on emotions, Shivakumar said, adding that the government was committed to strengthening peoples social and economic power rather than indulging in emotional politics. He explained that society cannot be built on emotions alone, and the government would focus on empowering people socially and economically. He also said that, if necessary, the Cabinet would consider the economic and legal framework and hold meetings in the coming days to address issues requiring attention. This is Team Karnataka. The Cabinet is with you, Shivakumar said, announcing that Tulu would be declared the states second additional administrative language, limited to Udupi and Dakshina Kannada (Mangaluru) districts. The Chief Minister recalled that former minister Ramanath Rai first raised the demand to declare Tulu as the second additional language. He said MLA Ashok Kumar Rai and several other elected representatives had jointly exerted pressure for the demand. Shivakumar congratulated everyone who worked to get Tulu recognised. Explaining the sentiments of the people in the region, Shivakumar said that the first question Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai raised in the Assembly after becoming an MLA was related to the Tulu language. I was surprised. His first sentiment was for the language. Today, he has secured approval for a Rs 500-crore medical college, but that is a different matter, he added. The Cabinet also decided to initiate the process of changing the name of Dakshina Kannada district to Mangaluru district. Shivakumar said the government would issue a draft notification and invite public opinion and objections for one month before taking a final decision. People recognise Mangaluru at the international level. People have expressed their wish in this regard. We have to follow the prescribed procedure and take the opinion of the people, he said. On coastal development, Shivakumar said the Cabinet approved projects worth Rs 32,611 crore, including Rs 16,000 crore for rural development projects. The Cabinet also approved the development of 12 islands in Mangaluru, Udupi, and Karwar districts to transform the coastal region into a global tourism hub. He said the government was seeking to utilise the regions coastline, cultural heritage, and natural resources to promote tourism and generate employment. A new Coastal and Malnad Karnataka Tourism Policy was also approved, which will treat tourism projects as infrastructure projects and provide greater support to investors, including extended loan repayment periods. The region will establish a Fisheries and Blue Economy University, and the existing fisheries college intake will increase from 60 to 200 seats. The Cabinet has also approved establishing a medical college in Puttur for Rs 549 crore. The Chief Minister said it was welcome that the Cabinet meeting was held in Mangaluru for the first time outside Bengaluru. Responding to a journalists question on whether Cabinet meetings would also be held in other districts, he said the government intends to hold meetings at 10 to 12 locations over the next 15 months. Cabinet meetings will be held wherever there is the capacity and a need, he said, adding that the governments goal is to build an integrated and prosperous Karnataka.

No political angle in removal of Siddaramaiah statue: Karnataka Minister Ajay Singh
Digital Desk | Mangaluru (Karnataka), Sept 18 (IANS) Minister for Minor Irrigation, Ajay Singh, on Friday said the removal of a nine-foot statue of former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in Kalaburagi was carried out as the statue had been installed without the required permission, and there was no political angle to the development. It can be noted that another statue of Siddaramaiah installed at the same location around three years ago had been removed as well by the authorities at that time. Minister Ajay Singh hails from Kalaburagi district and he is the son of former chief minister N. Dharam Singh. Speaking to reporters, Ajay Singh said, There are rules for installing any statue. The Siddaramaiah statue was removed for this reason. There is no connection between Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumars visit to Kalaburagi and the removal of the statue. He said Shivakumar had repeatedly maintained that Siddaramaiah was their leader and dismissed speculation linking the statue's removal to the Chief Minister's visit. Ajay Singh also said neither Siddaramaiah nor Shivakumar knew about the installation of the statue. There is no confusion regarding this matter. The statue was installed without permission and was removed as per the rules, he said. It can be noted that a nine-foot statue of Siddaramaiah was installed overnight at High Court Circle in Kalaburagi by his supporters. The Kalaburagi City Corporation subsequently removed the statue on Thursday amid tight police security after officials found that the required permission had not been obtained from the district administration or the city corporation. According to officials, around eight to 10 people, including members of the Kuruba community, were involved in installing the statue. The group had reportedly been demanding that High Court Circle be named after Siddaramaiah. The same group had reportedly installed a Siddaramaiah statue at the location around three years ago. Authorities had removed it at that time as well. The latest installation took place along the route taken by Shivakumar during his visit to Kalaburagi and his onward journey to the Ganagapura temple, leading to speculation over the timing of the move. However, officials maintained that the statue was removed solely because it had been installed without the necessary permission. Police were deployed at the spot during the removal to prevent any law-and-order issues.
People's lives more important than politics: Karnataka CM Shivakumar
Digital Desk | Mangaluru (Karnataka), Sept 18 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister, D.K. Shivakumar, on Friday said that the government considers people's lives more important than politics and urged leaders of all political parties not to panic about the government's approach. Speaking to the media near the Circuit House in Mangaluru ahead of the Cabinet meeting in the coastal city of Mangaluru, CM Shivakumar said the government would work keeping in mind the concerns and aspirations of the people. We will do politics on people's lives and issues, but not on people's emotions. Our government will work according to everyone's thinking and concerns, he said. He also said that there was no need for leaders of any political party to be apprehensive about the government's approach. During his visit to Mangaluru, Shivakumar said he visited the house where Mahatma Gandhi had stayed and had breakfast there. I went to the house where Mahatma Gandhi had stayed and had breakfast there. I had Mangaluru buns and dosa. I will go wherever the district ministers take me, he said. CM Shivakumar also interacted with social media influencers at a popular restaurant in Mangaluru over breakfast. After the Cabinet meeting, CM Shivakumar will address a press conference along with his Cabinet colleagues at the Mangaluru Deputy Commissioner's Office. CM Shivakumar had said the Karnataka government was planning to give a new direction to the coastal and Malnad regions by making effective use of the human resources and natural resources available in these areas. He said, The coastal region has a coastline stretching for 340 kms. We need to make proper use of this and give a new direction to the development of the region. We must create opportunities in the coastal and Malnad regions that can prevent people from migrating elsewhere. He said the coastal and Malnad regions have some of the most educated, aware and talented human resources in Karnataka. There is a need to provide opportunities and empower this human capital locally, he said, adding that the region was second to none. People from the coastal region have been raising several demands over the past 3040 years. Elected representatives, party leaders, BJP MLAs and MPs have also expressed their views and put forward their demands on the issue. They have expressed the expectation that if we do not support them, then who else will? I have taken note of many of their demands, Shivakumar said. He said all these issues would be discussed at the special Cabinet meeting scheduled to be held on Friday, and the decisions taken by the government would be announced subsequently.

Heavy rain lashes Bengaluru; IMD forecasts more showers across K'taka
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 16 (IANS) Heavy rains lashed Bengaluru, inundating several residential areas and causing damage in parts of the city, even as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast widespread rainfall, including heavy showers, across several districts of Karnataka over the next 24 to 48 hours. The heavy downpour in Bengaluru on Tuesday night resulted in the collapse of a military compound wall in the Domlur area, leaving three cows dead and Muniraju, the owner, seriously injured. Muniraju suffered fractures in both legs and is undergoing treatment in the ICU. Residents said they had repeatedly urged authorities to repair the compound wall, which they claimed had remained in a vulnerable condition for several years. They also alleged that the wall had been constructed without an adequate foundation and that there was no proper arrangement for the drainage of rainwater. Residents said water rushes into nearby residential areas whenever there is heavy rainfall. Following the incident, several residents have reportedly moved out of their homes temporarily, fearing that the remaining portion of the compound wall could collapse. Personnel from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Fire and Emergency Services have taken up rescue and relief operations at the spot. Local MLA N.A. Haris visited the affected area and took stock of the situation. Meanwhile, the IMD has forecast widespread rainfall across coastal, Malnad and interior districts of Karnataka under the influence of the southwest monsoon and a low-pressure area. Heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds is likely in Udupi, Mangaluru and Karwar districts. The IMD has also warned of rough sea conditions and advised fishermen not to venture into the sea. Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected in the hilly and mountainous areas of Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru, Madikeri and Hassan districts, where a yellow alert has been issued. Several districts in southern and central Karnataka, including Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Ramanagara, Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Mysuru, Mandya, Tumakuru and Chamarajanagar, are likely to receive moderate rainfall. In north Karnataka, Belagavi, Dharwad, Haveri, Gadag, Vijayapura, Bagalkot, Kalaburagi, Yadgir and Ballari districts are likely to receive moderate rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning. Strong winds with 30-40 kmph speed are also possible in some areas. Weather experts said rainfall activity is expected to increase across various parts of the state from Wednesday due to a cyclonic circulation at sea level and increased wind speeds. In Bengaluru, partly cloudy weather is expected during the day, with moderate to heavy rainfall likely during the evening or night.

Vande Mataram row: Congress stand has always been clear, says Karnataka CM Shivakumar
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) In the wake of the controversy over the Karnataka government restricting the playing of 'Vande Mataram' to two stanzas at state events, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Friday said the Congress has always respected the national song, the national flag, the national anthem, independence, democracy, and the Constitution, asserting that the party's position on the national song has been clear for a long time. Talking to reporters at Aranya Bhavan, Shivakumar said the Congress had played a role in upholding the values associated with the countrys freedom struggle and democratic institutions. Vande Mataram is my partys stand, which we have been following for a long time. They are trying to do their politics. We respect it. We brought Vande Mataram. We brought the national flag. We brought the national anthem. We brought independence. We brought democracy. We brought the Constitution, he said. He said the Congress position on Vande Mataram was not new and that the party respected all national symbols and constitutional values. On the Kasturirangan report, Shivakumar said the government would consult farmers before taking a final decision on the issue. He said he would visit three or four districts after his Mangaluru visit and meet farmers to hear their views. I will meet the farmers, and then on September 21, 22, and 23, we have a special session only for farmers issues, road issues and the report. We will discuss it because we have lost the opportunity. I want all MLAs to speak up and give their views in the interest of the public and the farmers of the state, he said. The Karnataka government has convened a three-day special session of the legislature from September 21 to 23 to discuss the Kasturirangan report and related issues. On his visit to PWD Minister Satish Jarkiholi amid the Enforcement Directorate searches linked to him, Shivakumar defended his colleague, saying Jarkiholi had not committed any wrongdoing. Jarkiholi is my colleague. He has not done anything wrong. They are conducting their business within the framework of the law. How can they say they should not go outside or should not do business outside? I know that they were doing, he said. Shivakumar alleged that the investigation agencies were selectively targeting Congress leaders. I know that they are planning to target three or four people as well. They are trying to trap the entire Congress and the opposition parties. Whoever from the BJP went outside or transferred money is not being targeted. They are doing it only with people from our party, he alleged. Defending the decision to set a deadline for the surrender of illegal firearms, Shivakumar referred to former Chief Minister, late Ramakrishna Hegde, who had during his tenure called upon people to surrender illegal firearms and weapons to the government. Following this, thousands of people came forward and surrendered them to the government, he said.

Bharat Ratna awardee CNR Rao gets SIR notice over name spelling mismatch
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sept 9 (IANS) Bharat Ratna awardee and renowned scientist Professor C.N.R. Rao, 92, received a notice on Wednesday, in connection with the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Karnataka over a spelling mismatch in his name, said reports. The notice issued to Professor Rao cites self-name mismatch as the reason. While his name reportedly appears in the older electoral rolls as Prof CNR Rao, the current electoral roll contains an additional f in the professional title, recording it as Proff CNR Rao. The discrepancy has resulted in the veteran scientist being asked to establish his identity as part of the electoral roll verification process. Under the SIR exercise, self-name mismatch refers to a discrepancy that arises when an elector uses details from the 2002 electoral roll while filling out the SIR enumeration form, but those details do not match the particulars in the current electoral roll. Professor Rao has reportedly been asked to appear for a hearing in Malleshwaram, near the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), to clarify the discrepancy and establish his identity. The development has drawn attention as Rao is one of Indias most celebrated scientists and a recipient of the countrys highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna. The notice is part of the electoral roll verification process being undertaken under the SIR exercise, which involves checking and updating voter details across the state. It can be noted that C.N.R. Rao is one of Indias most distinguished scientists and a globally recognised solid-state and materials chemist. Born in Bengaluru in 1934, he has made major contributions to chemistry, particularly in solid-state materials, nanomaterials and structural chemistry. He founded the Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in 1976 and served as IISc Director from 1984 to 1994. Rao has authored more than 1,600 research papers and received numerous international honours. He was awarded the Bharat Ratna, Indias highest civilian honour, in 2013 for his outstanding contribution to science. Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) had clarified on Tuesday that the notice issued to Padma Shri awardee Harekala Hajabba during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls was related to a mismatch in his name in the electoral records and said the issue has now been resolved. In a post on social media platform X, the CEO shared a clarification issued by the District Election Officer (DEO), Mangaluru, regarding the correction of Hajabbas name. With regard to the issue concerning the correction of the name of Padma Shri awardee Shri Harekala Hajabba, it is clarified that a mismatch in the name of the elector was found. In order to correct his name, officials visited and collected the documents from him. The issue has now been resolved, the DEO said. The clarification came after election officials served Hajabba a notice asking him to appear with documents following a discrepancy between the name in the current electoral roll and the name recorded during the previous SIR exercise. The notice, which was issued at his residence, directed Hajabba to appear before the election officer with the required documents to retain his name in the final electoral roll. He was asked to appear at the Harekala Gram Panchayat on September 11. However, within a few hours of serving the notice, the Village Accountant reportedly returned to Hajabbas residence and withdrew it. The officials assured him that the discrepancy in his name would be corrected.

Karnataka CEO clarifies SIR notice to Padma Shri awardee Harekala Hajabba; name mismatch resolved
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 8 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) on Tuesday clarified that the notice issued to Padma Shri awardee Harekala Hajabba during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls was related to a mismatch in his name in the electoral records and said the issue has now been resolved. In a post on social media platform X, the CEO shared a clarification issued by the District Election Officer (DEO), Mangaluru, regarding the correction of Hajabbas name. With regard to the issue concerning the correction of the name of Padma Shri awardee Shri Harekala Hajabba, it is clarified that a mismatch in the name of the elector was found.

The clarification came after election officials served Hajabba a notice asking him to appear with documents following a discrepancy between the name in the current electoral roll and the name recorded during the previous SIR exercise. The notice, which was issued at his residence, directed Hajabba to appear before the election officer with the required documents to retain his name in the final electoral roll. He was asked to appear at the Harekala Gram Panchayat on September 11. However, within a few hours of serving the notice, the Village Accountant reportedly returned to Hajabbas residence and withdrew it. The officials assured him that the discrepancy in his name would be corrected. The development had caused surprise in Mangaluru as Hajabba is widely known for his social work and for building a school in his native Harekala using the money he earned by selling oranges in Mangaluru. He was honoured with the Padma Shri for his contribution to education. According to Hajabba, his name was recorded as simply Hajabba in documents before 2000. After his efforts to build a school gained widespread recognition, Harekala Hajabba became the name by which he was commonly known. He said his Aadhaar card, ration card, passport and other documents carry the name Harekala Hajabba. The same name, he said, is also mentioned in his Padma Shri award, Karnataka Rajyotsava Award and doctorate certificate. Hajabba earlier said that he received the SIR notice around noon and was asked to produce the necessary documents. He said two Anganwadi teachers had delivered the notice and asked him to take a photograph as proof of its service. Later, around 5 p.m., the Village Accountant contacted him and said that there had been a minor mistake and asked him to return the notice. The official subsequently visited his house and took it back, assuring him that the authorities would correct the records. Hajabba said he was confident that the discrepancy would be resolved and that his name would be corrected in the electoral records.
