Man seeks voluntary death after deletion

A 43-year-old resident of Madhyamgram, Sumitava Mukherjee, submitted a written appeal to the DM on Thursday seeking permission for voluntary death for himself and his family after his name was struck off the electoral roll following the SIR.Mukherjee alleged that his name was arbitrarily deleted from the final electoral roll despite submission of all valid documents. The applicant, a resident of Kora Babu Para at ward 15 under Madhyamgram Municipality, said he ran from the pillar to post for the past two months but failed to get his name restored on the voters' list. — Sanjib Chakraborty
