Voter ID cards  

This refers to the report "Another chance for voter ID cards" that appeared in your esteemed Paper on April 1. I hope it is real and not an April 1 prank played on the hapless voters. I must have called the Election Commissioner's office at lease a dozen times to inquire about the delivery of my voter ID card for which I was photographed in last August at Subhash Higher Secondary School next to Arera Colony. After referring me from one official to another for the latest position on the subject all that I got in reply was a rude answer, "It is the job of the Collector's office and not ours.

Check with the Collector's office." I did speak to a very polite Mr. Rajesh Kochar, a Joint Collector who said that he was put in charge of the work for a brief period and was now on his way out. I hope that now the promised date of April 15 for delivery of the ID cards indicated in the aforesaid newspaper report will be adhered to and the poor common man in whose name the government is run will not be made to run from pillar to post.
