The protest aims to the risk of eligible voters being excluded and the need for transparency and accountability in the electoral revision process.
Hyderabad: Students, research scholars, student organisations and members of the academic community of Osmania University said they would organise a protest on Monday, October 12, at Arts College, Osmania University, against concerns over the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and its implications for the right to vote.
