Activist group plans Mumbai protest over electoral deletions on October 2

A prominent activist group said it will stage a protest in Mumbai on October 2 against what it claims are widespread and improper deletions from electoral rolls. The demonstration is expected to draw significant numbers given the scale of voter deletions reported across constituencies, according to organizers.

The protest is aimed at pressuring senior election officials to resign over the matter. Organizers alleged that electoral processes were being compromised to benefit particular political interests, and called for accountability at the highest levels of election administration.

In a challenge to state leadership, protest coordinators warned that public anger over electoral irregularities could escalate into broader demonstrations. They suggested that if senior election officials did not step down voluntarily, public pressure would mount on national political figures to address the issue.

The planned demonstration reflects growing concerns among citizen groups about electoral integrity in the region, particularly regarding the compilation and maintenance of voter lists ahead of scheduled elections.
