Today's Indian Updates episode looks at the voter list revision that has started in Punjab and Haryana, set to continue until October. We discuss how this compares to the controversy seen in West Bengal, where similar revisions led to disputes reaching the Supreme Court, and why Punjab has so far stayed calm. We also dive into the sensitive issue of migrant workers from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and their voting rights in cities like Ludhiana and Mohali, plus what this revision could mean for Punjabi youth who have moved abroad but still have their names on local voter lists. Tune in for an honest and clear breakdown of this important update.
