Ex-Navy chief asked to confirm identity under SIR; authorities to reach out to him

PANAJI: (Jan 12) The Election Commission of India has issued a notice to former chief of naval staff Admiral Arun Prakash, asking him to attend a meeting to establish his identity as part of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Admiral Prakash, who has been settled in Goa since his retirement, said SIR forms should be revised if they are not “evoking” the required information.

A senior official said his details do not figure in the voter list last updated in 2002 and that he falls under the “unmapped” category.
