SIR in Delhi: disposals of Form 7 nearly six times those of Form 6

For every Form 6 application for inclusion in Delhi’s electoral roll disposed of during the ongoing claims and objections phase of the special intensive revision (SIR), nearly six Form 7 applications seeking objections to the inclusion of names or their deletion from the draft roll have been cleared, data accessed by The Hindu showed.

According to the weekly constituency-wise forms disposal report, only 569 Form 6 applications were disposed of between August 31 and October 4. In comparison, 3,209 Form 7 applications were cleared during the same five-week period covered by the data. More than two-thirds of these Form 7 applications, or 2,352, were disposed of in the last two weeks alone, while no Form 6 application was disposed of last week.
