Hyderabad: In Hyderabad district, more than 104,000 voters were excluded from the voter rolls within a single month. Between February 8 and March 15, a substantial 104,000 voters were removed from the voter list, with Chandrayangutta witnessing the highest number of deletions at 14,536, followed by Musheerabad (13,955) and Jubilee Hills (10,297).

Officials attribute these deletions to discrepancies such as non-standard house numbers listed on the electoral roll. Nearly 4,500 personnel were deployed to purify the electoral rolls and rectify such issues.
