Former diplomat Navdeep Suri, who represented India as ambassador to the UAE and Egypt and High Commissioner to Australia, has highlighted difficulties faced during Punjab’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Suri revealed that volunteers informed him that some of his details did not match records from 2003, creating problems in establishing his citizenship despite his long public service career. Sharing his experience on social media, Suri questioned procedural inconsistencies in the voter verification process. The incident has sparked debate over the implementation of SIR in Punjab, with concerns that ordinary citizens may encounter similar hurdles while updating or verifying their electoral records.
