Crawling pace in West Bengal Appellate Tribunals keep voters in limbo
Nearly 19,000 voters in West Bengal’s Nandigram and Rejinagar Assembly constituencies are unable to participate in upcoming bypolls because their appeals are still pending in appellate tribunals. The delay leaves voters in a state of uncertainty, as the tribunals have not yet resolved the disputes that determine eligibility. The situation highlights procedural bottlenecks in the state’s electoral process.
