RAIGANJ,April. 16: North Dinajpur election department has failed to provide Epic to more than 60,000 voters who will cast votes in the upcoming panchayat elections. Under these circumstances a section of voters whose names were in electoral roles are concerned.
On the other hand a good number of Epic cards still need corrections. If the cards remain uncorrected the voters will face difficulties to cast their votes. One of the Additional District Magistrates of North Dinajpur district Mr Jaideb Saha who is looking after the election department of the district said: “We could not provide Epic cards to around five per cent of voters out of a total 12,09,952 whose names were in electoral roll in panchayat election . On the other hand some distributed Epic cards needed correction.”
