Скачать или смотреть Bihar 'Vote Bandi' Fears; Odisha Student's Death Sparks Outrage

This India Today special investigation examines the contentious special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar ahead of the state elections. The Election Commission aims to verify over 7.7 crore voters and remove deceased or non-resident names by a September 30 deadline, with a July 25 deadline for form submission. The opposition has labeled the drive 'vote bandi,' fearing it could disenfranchise millions and act as a backdoor NRC. Reports from districts like Katihar, Purnia, and Kishangunj reveal chaos as booth level officers face pressure to meet the deadline, with residents fearing exclusion based on language and religion. The investigation highlights complications due to porous borders with Nepal in the Simanchal region. Experts discuss the practicality of the timeline, lack of clarity, and concerns that the exercise is turning into a citizenship test, with comparisons to demonetisation. Additionally, the report covers the tragic death of a 20-year-old student in Balasore, Odisha, who died by self-immolation after her complaints of sexual harassment against a professor were allegedly ignored, sparking protests and accusations of institutional failure. #indiatodayinvestigation #bihar #voterlist #itwebvideos #electioncommission #votebandi #nrc #biharelections #simanchal #katihar #kishanganj #groundreport #voterrights #democracy #shreyachatterjee #citizenship #electoralrolls #votebandhi #odisha #balasore #justiceforsoumyashree #studentprotest #institutionalfailure #womenssafety #betibachaobetipadhao #sexualharassment #india
