He cautioned that any complaint of misconduct or political interference would result in strict disciplinary action against the responsible officials.
Draft Voter List Published; Objections Initially Accepted Until 27 November
According to the Bhiwandi-Nizampur City Municipal Corporation (BNCMC), draft voter lists for all 23 municipal wards were published on 20 November 2025 for the upcoming civic elections.
As per the State Election Commission’s (SEC) guidelines, objections and suggestions were initially accepted until 27 November 2025. During this period, several objections were filed by political parties, including the Congress and BJP, as well as individual citizens.
SEC Extends Deadline for Filing Objections to 3 December
However, following a revised schedule issued by the SEC on 26 November 2025, the deadline for filing objections has now been extended. Citizens may submit objections and corrections until 3 December 2025 at their respective ward committee offices.
Guidance Session Held for Ward-Level Officials
To ensure proper scrutiny of the objections, the corporation organised a guidance session for ward-level officers and staff. Commissioner Anmol Sagar, Additional Commissioner Nayana Sasane and Deputy Commissioner (Elections) Vikram Darade briefed the teams on the SEC’s procedural guidelines.
Officers Directed to Verify Entries and Correct Errors
Officials were instructed to conduct on-site verification in cases where a voter may have been mistakenly listed in the wrong ward. They were also directed to seek assistance from Booth Level Officers (BLOs) wherever necessary. Further, all teams were ordered to act strictly in accordance with SEC rules regarding duplicate voter entries, ensuring that such cases are corrected without delay.
Commissioner Warns Against Any Bias or Political Influence
Reiterating his stance during the session, Commissioner Sagar emphasised that the electoral process must remain free of bias and political influence.
