Collector S. Jayandhi on Wednesday asked the voters to link their Aadhaar number with Elector’s Photo Identity Card (EPIC) so as to step up transparency in the future elections.
Speaking at a special gram sabha meeting held at Velampadi village near Aravakurichi, she said it was important for the voters to provide correct information to prepare highly reliable voters list. Since the Aadhaar cards contained all needed information, the voters should link them with their respective EPIC cards.
The drive had been going on in the district. Officials have been visiting various parts to carry out Aadhaar number seeding process. The people should utilise the opportunity well. The people, who were yet to get Aadhaar cards, should visit the respective centres immediately to furnish inputs for getting Aadhaar card.
She said similar meeting was held in all 157 village panchayats in the district on Wednesday. Besides emphasising the need for Aadhaar seeding, the people were asked to make use of the welfare schemes.
