KULGAM, APRIL 11: As part of the ongoing Special Summary Revision of Panchayat Electoral Rolls 2026, a revision camp was organized today at Town Hall Devsar to facilitate enrolment of eligible voters and updation of electoral records.

He urged all eligible citizens, especially those who have attained the age of 18 years as on 01-04-2026, to verify their details and ensure their names are included within the stipulated timeframe.

Among others present on the occasion were Sub-Divisional Magistrate Noorabad, ACD Kulgam, Tehsildar Devsar, Master Trainers, Panchayat Electoral Booth Officers (PEBOs), Booth Level Officers (BLOs), Aanganwadi Workers (AWWs), and a large number of local residents from Devsar, reflecting strong public participation in the democratic process.
