Bihar SIR: Aadhaar accepted in Patna, not in Seemanchal

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 9 July 2025 ()
Bihar's electoral roll revision reveals an urban-rural divide as 57% of voters submit forms. Patna accepts Aadhaar, while rural areas demand birth, caste, or land documents, causing distress. Many lack required papers, especially in Seemanchal, leading to document application surges and concerns about voter list retention, particularly among the elderly and those displaced by floods.
