In a very bizarre manner, a guy from Bengal has got his voter ID card with a dog’s photo on it.
Bizarre ID card correction
It’s quite common to witness some odd mistakes in our voter’s list or voter ID cards in our country. Names or addresses are often misspelled while printing, leading to verification problems at multiple levels.
We have an option to correct such blunders by issuing an update on the ID card or other verification cards. However, a man from West Bengal’s Murshidabad wasn’t so lucky in his case.
The man, recognized as Sunil Karmakar, who hails from Ramnagar village had applied for a correction in his voter ID card. But when he received the updated card, he was shocked and had no idea what to do. He received a voter ID card with a dog’s picture on it.
Irresponsibility from officials
He said that the officer at Dulal Smirti School signed and delivered him the card without examining the photo of the dog. Upset Sunil, now plans to go to the BDO office to guarantee such things should never happen again.
“Yesterday I was called at Dulal Smriti School and this voter ID card was given to me. I saw the photo. The officer there signed and gave it to me but he didn’t see the photo. This is playing with my dignity. I will go to the Block Development Officer (BDO) office and request that this should not happen again,” Karmakar told ANI
Speaking on the occasion, the BDO stated that the mistake has already been fixed and Karmakar will soon be issued a corrected ID card with his actual photo.
“It’s not his final voter ID card. If there is a mistake, it’ll be corrected. As far as the dog’s photo is concerned, it might have been done by someone while filling online application. The photo has already been corrected. He’ll get the final ID card with the correct photo,” said the BDO.
