• INDIA bloc MPs have staged sit-in protests at Parliament’s Makar Dwar for four straight days, repeatedly forcing adjournments in both Houses.
• Opposition leaders highlight that only 2% of Bihar residents hold all 11 required documents, raising fears that strict ID rules and mass migration could strip millions of voting rights.
• The EC reports the process flagged 1.8 million deceased electors, 0.7 million duplicate entries, and 2.6 million voters who have moved constituencies.
