Hyderabad: Nearly 1.4 lakh techies and migrated workers along with their family members will be deleted from the Serilingampally voters’ list as they have shifted from their current addresses. V. Mamatha, deputy commissioner of Serilingam-pally circle, said that the GHMC took up a comprehensive door-to-door survey. “We found many voters given incorrect details. We also identified 1.4 lakh voters to be removed. Majo- rity of voters in the removal list are techies and migrated workers,” she said.
