E-Roll Observer holds meet in Mkg

Special Electoral Roll Observer for Mokokchung and Longleng districts and Secretary of New & Renewable Energy, Wopen Lotha, has held a meeting with regard to the ongoing National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication (NERPAP) with the participation of administrative officers and leaders of political parties.
Addressing the meeting, Wopen Lotha said the ongoing nationwide NERPAP was to authenticate every voter in the electoral roll with Aadhar and to eradicate double and bogus voters from the E-rolls. He said the ongoing project would not be able to achieve its target without the cooperation of the political parties, public, NGOs and district administration. He, therefore, appealed to all concerned to join hands with administration so as to make it the exercise a success.
The observer said he had great expectation from Mokokchung district to undertake the NERPAP in right direction which would make an impact on other districts.
DC and DEO, Sushil Kumar, said Mokokchung district has little over 1,35,000 voters out of which about 79,000 biometric had been captured in the district and  25,000 individuals had so far received their Aadhar card.
The meeting also took note of voluntary disclosure made by a few individual voters by voluntarily surrendering themselves double EPIC cards to the BLOs and administration. The meeting observed that it was a very encouraging trend towards authentication and purification of E-roll.
