1 In 3 Nagpur Voters Still Unmapped In Pre-SIR Exercise, Only 60% City Mapped Against 77% In Rural Belt Nagpur: Nearly one in every three voters in Nagpur district is yet to be mapped in the ongoing pre-Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, with urban constituencies emerging as the weakest-performing segment ahead of the actual SIR drive scheduled to begin from June end. Constituency-wise data accessed by TOI shows that of Nagpur district's current electorate of 46.41 lakh voters, 31.76 lakh electors have so far been mapped with records from the previous SIR exercise, taking the overall mapping to 68.45%. This means around 14.64 lakh electors — nearly 32% of the district's total electorate — are still unmapped at the pre-SIR stage. The data, as of June 5, reveals a sharp urban-rural divide in the exercise. While the six rural Assembly constituencies together recorded a mapping percentage of 77.81%, the six city constituencies lagged significantly behind at 60.08%. In actual numbers, close to 9.78 lakh electors in urban constituencies remain unmapped compared with around 3.86 lakh in rural segments. Among individual constituencies, Nagpur West recorded the lowest mapping at 56.17%, followed by Nagpur North at 57.39% and Nagpur East at 59.82%. Nagpur South-West and Nagpur South also remained around the 60.90% mark. On the other hand, rural constituencies such as Umred and Ramtek posted the highest mapping percentages at 87.20% and 87.50%, respectively, while Katol recorded 83.70%. The exercise has also identified a substantial number of "electors with anomalies" — cases involving duplication, shifting, deaths or discrepancies requiring further scrutiny. Across the district, around 8.65 lakh electors have been flagged under the anomaly category, including 4.#nagpur_district #nagpur_east #special_intensive_revision_sir #nagpur_west #nagpur_north
HSRP Deadline Extended to June 30, Maharashtra Warns of Strict Enforcement Starting July 1 The Maharashtra state transport department has announced an extension of the deadline for mandatory installation of High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP) on vehicles registered before April 1, 2019. The revised deadline, set for June 30, was announced in a fresh circular issued by transport commissioner Rajesh Narvekar. This follows the acknowledgment that only approximately 50% of eligible vehicles across the state had complied with the earlier deadline of December 31, 2025. The extension aims to address the low compliance rate and ensure broader adherence to the security measure. The department has warned that enforcement squads, referred to as "flying squads," will begin strict actions from July 1 against vehicles found without HSRPs. However, vehicle owners who book installation appointments before June 30 will be exempt from punitive measures, even if the actual installation is completed after the deadline. This provision is intended to provide a grace period for those who may face logistical challenges in meeting the revised deadline. Non-compliant vehicles will face restrictions on several RTO-related services, including ownership transfer, hypothecation updates, re-registration, alteration approvals, and permit renewals. Fitness certificate renewals, however, have been temporarily exempted from these restrictions. The department emphasized that these measures are part of a broader effort to enforce compliance and ensure the security of vehicle registration records. Regional compliance data from Nagpur highlights the progress made in the state. As of May 18, the MH49 (Nagpur East) region recorded 2,48,065 HSRP orders, with 2,26,043 vehicles fitted out of 2,47,713 scheduled appointments.#maharashtra_state_transport_department #rajesh_narvekar #hsrp #nagpur_east #nagpur_urban
