Election officials in Mamit, Kolasib, and Lunglei districts of Mizoram have been making concerted efforts to delete over 5,000 names of Bru voters before August 2, officials said on Friday.
State election department officials said that, in accordance with the instructions from the Election Commission of India, all the names of Bru voters who have settled in Tripura will be deleted from the state electoral rolls before the Mizoram assembly polls likely to be held in November or December this year.
Out of the 5,000 Bru voters remaining on Mizoram electoral rolls, 4,950 were enrolled in Mamit district.
Mamit District Election officials said that after the deadline for claims and objections was over on Thursday in the ongoing revision of electoral rolls, no objections had been raised over the deletion of Bru voters.
Officials said that all the names of 4,950 Bru voters will be deleted within two days.
Earlier, the requests for deletion of voters from the Tripura state election commission through ERONet was going on at snail’s pace, prompting the Mizoram election department to take up the issue of deletion of Bru voters on its own after Madhup Vyas took over as the state Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) recently.
Deletion of Bru voters could only be undertaken after a quadrilateral agreement was signed in January 2020 between the Ministry of Home Affairs, Mizoram and Tripura state governments, and different Bru bodies in the relief camps in which it was agreed that the Bru community in Tripura relief camps who did not like to return to Mizoram were allowed to settle permanently in Tripura.
