Voters' apathy

Name left out in the game

Their democratic rights have been denied. Several electorate who came to the booths to vote with their voter IDs found to their shock found their names not in the voters' list. How it happened? Enumerators' mistake? In one instance Door NO 48 exists and 50 too and not the 49. P C Sorkar vanishes the whole train from the vision of people. Likewise an immovable property, very much there, gone out into oblivion.
The property owner pays tax for a non-existence one. Fantastic! Even when the enumerators had come when the inmates were out, once or twice they could have put a note stating that they had been there and advised them to contact the officials. Doesn't it seem democratic in a democracy? There were cases earlier that when voters went to the booth to exercise their franchise, their votes would have already been polled by impersonators. Now in the first place their names are not to be found.
