Almost one-fourth of Hyderabad electorate marked absent, shifted or dead in SIR
Hyderabad election authorities have classified nearly 25% of the city's electorate as absent, shifted, or dead during a special electoral roll revision. Officials are urging residents to verify their status and submit enumeration forms before the upcoming deadline to ensure their names remain on the draft rolls.
