The press release further stated that Chief Election Officer had issued directives to declare the list of registered members on February 1. Thus, registrations will be done till January 31. The Sanghatana has gathered details about Form 18 submitted for the registration. According to statistics, 52 Nagpur South West zone, 17238 forms were submitted while 57 Nagpur North has collected 5395 forms.
However, the sanghatana alleges that more than 20,000 form No. 18 were collected after initiative of the Sanghatana in the last week of October, and later in November and December. But the official data shows registration of mere 5395 forms. The Sanghatana President Kishor Gajbhiye stated in the release that details of around 1500 were missing from the official files and no officer was able to clear the air in this case. The Sanghatana members enquired with Collector’s office but the officers concerned informed that all the forms submitted were forwarded to Municipal Commissioner’s officer for verification. However, officers at Municipal Corporation have confirmed that no form was held back with the office and only 5395 forms were submitted. Thus, remaining 1,500 forms are in question and none of the offices has any clue about those forms.
Gajbhiye, in the press release, has said that it was the responsibility of collector and Municipal Commissioner to maintain the transparency in the registration of these forms and has demanded an enquiry about the 1,500 missing forms.
