Haryana has achieved 76% coverage, says Khattar
Karnal, June 22 -- Union power minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday said that Haryana has achieved 76.16% of coverage in distribution of the enumeration forms (EFs) in one week, since the special intensive revision (SIR) exercise began in the state on June 15. He said that out of the total 2,06,55,929 voters, 1,57,32,215 have received the EFs via 20,629 booth-level officers (BLOs) during that period.
Filing his EF as a voter from Karnal at the public works department (PWD) rest house, the minister shared that Karnal tops the chart with 92.25% forms distributed.
There are a total of 12,25,661 voters in Karnal, where a maximum of 11,30,653 voters have received their forms through 1181 BLOs. Karnal (92.25%), followed by Kaithal (91.2%), Yamunanagar (90.29%) and Jind (87.18%). Faridabad lags in the state with only 42.41% coverage, despite having 1650 BLOs, while another NCR district, Gurgaon, also has a low distribution rate of 54.53% of forms to voters.
"There are many floating voters in both these districts, where residents tend to shift frequently due to work. When this process is completed, the forms will be distributed to those who have shifted here later. If everyone is to be registered to vote, they must provide some form of identification-such as a document proving local residence-for that purpose," the former CM said.
Responding to a question, he said that the opposition is misleading voters regarding SIR, but no eligible person's vote will be cancelled. Instead, with July 1, 2026, as the qualifying date, votes are being created for new eligible citizens, and their names will be included in the voter list, the minister added.htc...
