Election Commissioner S S Sandhu, other top officials get notices under SIR

The Election Commissioner, Dr Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, along with other top serving and retired IAS officials, has received notices under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls. These notices pertain to discrepancies and issues with the mapping of their names. Notable recipients include Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey, Principal Scientific Advisor Ajay Kumar Sood, and Health Secretary Punya Salila.

The bureaucrats have been categorized as "unmapped with the Last SIR." Additionally, retired bureaucrats like former NITI Aayog vice-chairman Arvind Panagariya and former JNU vice-chancellor Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar have also received notices for various discrepancies, including "parent name mismatch." This SIR process has resulted in 33 lakh electors in Delhi, including several prominent politicians and officials, being asked to validate their details.
