MANGALURU The Assistant Commissioner of the Mangaluru Sub-Division has directed the Tahsildar of Ullal taluk to take necessary action on the complaint by retired bank official K. Sathyamoorthi regarding the inclusion of two non-residents against the door number of his house in the final electoral roll. In his complaint dated November 2, Mr.

Sathyamoorthi, a resident of K.C. Road on the Karnataka side of Talapady village, said he had submitted a complaint earlier on August 12, in which he had pointed out the presence of three names, in addition to his own and those of three family members, in the electoral roll under his house number, 1–288. He had also asked officials to look into the veracity of four names mentioned in the electoral roll under house number 1–288C, as the local panchayat had informed him that no such house existed.

After the final electoral roll was released, Mr. Sathyamoorthi said that two non-residents continue to be listed under house number 1–288. The four persons listed under house number 1–288C were also in the final roll.
