Good initiative. I hope the political parties cooperate as requested. The by-election in Dharmanagar is important for the state's political landscape. Let's hope for a clean and fair process.

The timeline seems a bit tight, especially for people in remote areas to check and file objections. The disposal period ending on Jan 21 for a draft published on Jan 22? That seems like a typo in the article. The process needs enough time to be thorough.

Hope they also focus on including all the new young voters who have turned 18. Often their names get missed in these rolls. Awareness campaigns in colleges would help.
