While supporting ACAUT’s appeal to the Election Commission of India to carry out intensive electoral roll to delete four lakhs bogus voters in the State, DCC also asked ACAUT to appeal the State Election Commission to carry out intensive electoral roll for municipal and town councils election by appointing independent enumerator before the election is held as per the Municipal and Town Council Act.
