Hyderabad: Telangana BJP has urged the Election Commission to direct all DEOs and EROs not to accept any Family Register Certificates during the ongoing SIR of electoral rolls to safeguard against the alleged inclusion of ineligible persons. In a representation addressed to the Chief Election Commissioner, the party on Tuesday, July 28, alleged that the constitution of the ‘Telangana Family Register’ linked to Food Security Cards coinciding directly with the SIR raises serious constitutional and administrative concerns. Consequently, the Family Register Certificate—regardless of any administrative purpose it may serve otherwise—must not be recognised or accepted in any manner whatsoever for the ongoing SIR, it said. The state government has constituted a statewide electronic Telangana Family Register and introduced a facility for the issue of a Family Register Certificate through the MeeSeva platform. The government decided to launch the family register with a view to facilitating the delivery of citizen services, ensuring uniformity in the verification of family particulars, and providing a readily accessible record, according to a government order.
