In Katihar's Kodha area, 87-year-old Arjan Nisha was wrongly marked dead in the voter list. Her name appeared under the dead category on a school wall list. Family members took her to the site and shared a video on social media. Local leaders confirmed the mistake and called it a misuse of democracy. They demanded a full check before publishing voter lists. Arjan Nisha's husband is also alive. Former MLA Poonam Paswan said many living people were shown dead in voter lists. She urged the Election Commission to verify the lists carefully. This error raises concerns about the accuracy of voter records in Bihar. To fix such issues, people should check their names in voter lists and report mistakes quickly. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 11:02 IST; source: link)
