Human Chain at Karwar Tagore Beach Raises Awareness on Voter List Revision
Officials, students and residents joined the campaign, which also included a beach cleanliness drive.
Karwar: A human chain was formed at Rabindranath Tagore Beach in Karwar on Saturday morning to create public awareness about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll.
The awareness programme was organised jointly by the Zilla Panchayat and the Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) Committee. Officials from various government departments, staff members, students and local residents took part in the event.
Participants made the programme more eye catching by arranging themselves in the shape of the letters “SIR” while standing in the human chain.
As part of the campaign, a beach cleanliness drive was also conducted at Rabindranath Tagore Beach. Volunteers cleaned the beach and encouraged the public to protect the environment and maintain cleanliness in public spaces.
During the programme, people were urged to actively participate in the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral roll by checking their names, addresses and other details in the voter list and making any necessary corrections.
Officials said that updating the electoral roll is an important step in strengthening the democratic process and appealed to all eligible voters to cooperate with the revision exercise.
