HYDERABAD: To cleanse the electoral rolls and weed out bogus and duplicate Elector Photo Identity Cards (EPIC), the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is providing an opportunity for Aadhaar linking of EPIC cards on Saturday.
The GHMC has made arrangements for linking Aadhaar with EPIC cards at all the 7,051 polling stations in the GHMC limits on Saturday. Voters can visit their notified polling stations from 10 am to 4 pm for seeding of cards. GHMC has speeded up field verification process, data entry and disposal of seeding since July 24 by deploying additional staff. Nearly 5.85 lakh Aadhaar cards were linked with EPIC in the last two weeks.
On Sunday, a special drive will be taken up in the GHMC limits where 400 Swachh Units will visit the localities and create awareness about linking of Aadhaar with EPIC cards. GHMC special officer Somesh Kumar said that the circles where the seeding percentage is low would be given priority.
