Koraput: Koraput district administration on Thursday conducted a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls at Neredivalsa village under Kotia gram panchayat, with Pottangi tehsildar claiming that the work in the panchayat, bordering Andhra Pradesh, was nearing completion.“Around 90% of the exercise has already been completed. Our objective is to ensure that no eligible voter is left out and that all electoral records are accurate and updated,” said tehsildar Debandra Dharua.Under the SIR programme, officials assisted villagers in voter enrolment, as well as verification and correction of records to ensure that all eligible residents are included in the electoral roll.The electoral exercise was carried out alongside a multiservice camp, offering healthcare and youth development initiatives.Officials interacted with the residents and addressed various civic and welfare-related concerns raised by them.In a bid to promote sports among youths in the border villages, the district sports office distributed footballs, volleyballs, nets, kit bags and sports jerseys among the local clubs and children.Pottangi block development officer (BDO) Ramakrishna Nayak said the SIR exercise is being undertaken to ensure that every eligible citizen is able to exercise his or her democratic right. Such outreach programmes help bridge the gap between the administration and people living in remote areas while ensuring that govt services reach the grassroots level, he added.Villagers welcomed the initiative and expressed satisfaction over the availability of multiple services at their doorstep. Officials reiterated their commitment to organising similar camps in the future to accelerate development and improve public service delivery in the region.The Kotia cluster has remained at the centre of a long-standing boundary dispute between Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, with both states claiming administrative control over 21 of the 28 villages under the gram panchayat. The matter has been pending before the Supreme Court since 1968.
