No.327/2020-2021

Dated Champhai, the 29th October, 2020: It has been brought to the notice of Pi Maria C.T Zuali, District Election Officer (DEO), Champhai District that forged/look alike Electoral Photo Identity Cards (EPICs) are being fraudulently procured by some persons from unscrupulous and unauthorized agencies. Such offensive act on the part of unauthorized agencies is not only a serious threat for security and safety of the scheme of EPIC but also detrimental to faith and confidence of general public in the sanctity of EPIC issued by Election Commission of India.

In order to do away with fake and forged EPICs, District Election Officer Pi Maria C.T Zuali orders that no such unauthorized activities of preparation and printing of EPICs in offline/online mode should be undertaken within Champhai District. The DEO appealed to the public that in case if any such activity is noticed, FIR should be lodged immediately and followed up regularly to bring the culprits to the book. It is also further added that a copy of FIR, so lodged along with a brief of incidence shall also be sent to the District Authority for information and further action.
