New Delhi: Poll authorities in Bihar have issued notices to nearly three lakh electors with ' doubtful citizenship', officials said on Friday.
The three lakh electors are among the 7.24 crore people who have found their names in the draft electoral rolls published on August 1 as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in Bihar.
Those issued notices are suspected to be from Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar and even Afghanistan, officials said, citing ground reports. During verification of documents, discrepancies were noted by the electoral registration officers (EROs).
Field inquiries were done thereafter and notices were issued, they said. Notices were issued by the EROs largely in East Champaran, West Champaran, Madhubani, Kishanganj, Purnia, Katihar, Araria and Supaul.
