This India Today ground report, part of the Bihar SIR Investigation series, focuses on the Katihar region during the monsoon floods. In villages like Sogletola and Chittoria, the Santhal tribe and other residents are inundated, battling for daily survival as their homes are submerged. Amidst this crisis, they face the Election Commission’s voter list revision (SIR exercise), a process complicated by lost documents and a lack of awareness. Many possess only an Aadhaar or ration card, which are not sufficient, and wrestle with errors in the voter rolls like incorrect photos and changed EPIC numbers. The investigation highlights the struggle of these communities, encapsulated by one resident’s statement: "If we don’t have a voter card, the government will not give us any credibility. Only if we have a voter card, I will be able to tell the government that I am a resident of this country." The report questions if these citizens, fighting the nature’s fury, can secure their right to vote. #biharfloods #katihar #voterlist #electioncommission #santhaltribe #groundreport #indiatoday #biharsirinvestigation #simanchal #monsoonfury #righttovote #adivasi #voterid #floods #bihar
