Bengali Poet Summoned for Electoral Roll Hearing

A famous Bengali poet named Joy Goswami has been asked to come to a meeting by the Election Commission.

This meeting is about checking the list of people who can vote.

Mr. Goswami is 74 years old and has been sick recently, so his family is worried about him going to the meeting.

They say they filled all the necessary forms on time.

The Election Commission says they will help and even offered to meet elderly or sick people at their homes.

Some people have complained that elderly voters have gotten sick or passed away after getting notices for these meetings.

The Election Commission says these complaints are not true and they will take legal action.
