During Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, Election Commission officials discovered a large number of individuals from Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar during house-to-house verification. These suspected illegal migrants will undergo inquiry after August 1, and their names will be excluded from the final voter list to be published on September 30. The revision aims to ensure only eligible citizens are listed. The EC plans a nationwide roll revision to weed out foreign nationals by verifying place of birth. This move comes ahead of Bihar’s upcoming Assembly elections and has sparked political debate, with opposition parties questioning the timing and intent of the exercise. (PC: BBC & Hindustan Times)
