Bengal polls: Empty polling booths, scarred villages at ground zero of SIR rage

Mothabari voters, many with EPIC cards, were turned away on polling day, their names deleted from electoral rolls despite prior voting and document submissions. Migrant workers returned hoping to rectify their status, only to find their names still missing. This exclusion cast a shadow over the democratic process, leaving many feeling disenfranchised and questioning the fairness of the system.
