Bengal Faces Hurdle in Meeting SC Deadline Over Data Discrepancies
Authorities flag inconsistencies in records, raising concerns over timely submission of final list.
Kolkata, Jan 24 : The process of preparing the final list of names, as mandated by the Supreme Court, has run into a hurdle in West Bengal due to flagged data discrepancies. Officials expressed concerns over meeting the court imposed deadline amid inconsistencies in records.
Authorities are reviewing and reconciling entries to ensure accuracy, but the presence of conflicting information in multiple databases has slowed the verification process. Sources said the discrepancies relate to demographic details and eligibility criteria, which need careful cross checking before final submission.
The Supreme Court had directed the state to submit the complete list by a specific date, but officials now fear that unresolved anomalies could delay compliance. The matter is under active review, with state officials coordinating closely with relevant departments to resolve issues and meet the judicial deadline.
The delay has raised political and administrative concerns, as timely submission of accurate data is crucial for transparency and legal compliance.
