Major civil societies and political parties Wednesday took out rally in Mizoram's Mamit district demanding the removal of district deputy commissioner for conducting revision of voters list in the six Bru relief camps in Tripura.
The rally organised by the Mizoram NGO Coordination Committee and all political parties demanded that deputy commissioner Bhupesh Choudhary be transferred from Mamit district before September 10.
NGO Coordination Committee, comprising major civil societies, had earlier objected to the revision of Mizoram's voters list in the relief camps outside the state and demanded that the revision be undertaken after the completion of the repatriation process, scheduled to be held from August 25 to September 25.
A Special Investigating Team (SIT) has been set up to investigate the burglary at the Mamit Election Officer's Office on August 23 in which all the duly filled claim and objection forms collected from the Bru relief camps were stolen. The SIT had arrested 11 people in connection with the burglary.
Election Commission of India's Secretary SB Joshi and under secretary Santosh Kumar Dubey had visited Mamit town on Saturday to enquire into the theft of claims and objection forms from the office of the election officer.
The poll panel team had also met the district deputy commissioner, SP and members of the SIT on the actions taken by the district administration and the police.
