Mountain of forms pending processing

After the deadline for filing claims and objections expired on October 7, state authorities find themselves overwhelmed with an enormous backlog of pending forms. According to available data, over 7.56 lakh forms, including Form 6, 6A, 7, and 8, remain unprocessed. This mountain of paperwork has caused concern among officials.

Among the pending forms, a significant number of 27,555 Form 7 applications await processing. Out of these, 5,077 forms originated from the Hyderabad district, followed by 3,090 from the Sangareddy district, 1,498 from Nizamabad district, and 1,331 from Rangareddy district. The excessive use of Form 7 has sparked controversy, with allegations of attempts to systematically erase Muslim voters from the electoral rolls in Musheerabad and Goshamahal.

The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen has accused a supporter of the Bharatiya Janata Party of submitting a large number of pre-filled Form 7 forms in an effort to remove voters who are members of the Muslim community. The forms must meet specified terms and conditions, and all comments must be written in English using complete sentences.
