Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer Navdeep Rinwa has taken decisive action to curb alleged irregularities in the voter registration process in Pilibhit district. He directed that all ECINET login credentials used by operators at voter‑registration centres across the state be immediately deactivated.
The move follows an internal inquiry that uncovered suspicious activity linked to an outsourced computer assistant, who has since been terminated from service. The investigation suggested that the individual may have facilitated unauthorized changes to the electoral roll.
