There are 59,470 anomalies in the constituency. The number of unmapped cases is 40,750. A total of 1,00,223 notices have been issued to people,” he said.Mr. Owaisi also raised concerns over electoral rolls showing some voters as having “shifted”, saying several of them continued to live at the same address. He also pointed to cases where voters had been marked as dead despite being alive. Published - September 08, 2026 07:48 pm IST
