Secretaries in the village and ward secretariats are reportedly being forced by higher authorities to meet the targets set for linking of Aadhaar cards of voters with Elector Photo Identity Cards (EPIC) in their respective areas.
As per the Election Commission of India, the Aadhaar numbers of the voters have to be submitted in Form 6B only if the respective voter wishes to do so.
However, several people in the city are receiving calls from the staff of the secretariats, who are appointed as Booth-Level Officers alongside 28 other government and semi-government employees from various departments.
