The Mizoram Election department on Sunday denied reports that appeared in a section of media that names of over 11,000 Bru voters camping in six relief camps in Tripura have been deleted from the Mizoram electoral roll.
State chief electoral officer (CEO) Ashish Kundra said they did not take any action related to the Bru voters in Tripura.
He said that names of the Bru voters could not be deleted in a hasty manner just because of the quadripartite agreement as they have to take approval from the Election Commission of India and discuss the matter with the Tripura government. He also said that he was completely unaware of the reports claiming that names of over 11,000 Brus in Tripura were deleted by the Mizoram Election department in a prompt move.
State assistant chief electoral officer Lalrinpuia also refuted the reports.
He said that first of all the Tripura government will have to inform the Mizoram government about the enlistment of the Bru voters in its roll after which only deletion process of names from Mizoram voter list will be undertaken.
