Bengaluru Bengali Workers Say They Are Paying to Fight for Voter Status Amid Adjudication Delays
More than 3,500 Bengali workers in Bengaluru are facing uncertainty over their voter status, according to the Karnataka Bengali Kalyan Samiti, which says many have been marked as being under adjudication for a “logical discrepancy.” The group says affected workers are taking loans to attend hearings and losing wages in the process, even as officials have not provided clear resolution timelines.
