Kadaba: Names of five from a family disappears from voters list
Kadaba, May 12: The deletion of the names of five members of a family from the voters list came to light when they have been to polling station to cast their votes at Kadaba. As a result, they could not vote on Saturday.
As soon as the news spread, workers of a political party said that because of the mistake done by some officials, the voters were deprived of their right and they should be given opportunity to vote.
But Alankar village accountant said that “As they have directions from the higher ups to delete the names of those who were not there in their residence for the last six months, from the voters list. This time, they cannot vote. Their names would be included in the voters list and next time, they could vote”, he added.
But irked by this development, a lady from the family asked ‘As to why their names were deleted from the list? I have ration card and Aadhar card. Moreover, we have never applied for deletion of our names from the voters list. How did you remove our names? Who has signed for this? I would complaint to the tahsildar and if I don’t get justice, I would go to court”, she warned.

West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph suspended after on-field argument with his captain
Bridgetown (Barbados) (AP/PTI): Fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has been suspended for two matches by Cricket West Indies over his very public disagreement with captain Shai Hope over field placements during a one-day international against England.
While West Indies was bowling during the match Wednesday which the Caribbean side won by eight wickets to clinch the three-match series, Joseph left the field in a remarkable protest over the field set by Hope during one of the fast bowler's overs.
Joseph and Hope engaged in a lengthy argument before the fourth over which was bowled by Joseph and had to be urged by the umpires to resume play. After a ball was played away on the off side during the over, Joseph remonstrated angrily with Hope and when the over ended he walked from the field, returning after a short break.
On Thursday, Cricket West Indies said in a statement Joseph's conduct fell short of CWI's “standards of professionalism.”
"Alzarri's behavior did not align with the core values that Cricket West Indies upholds. Such conduct cannot be overlooked, and we have taken decisive action to ensure the gravity of the situation is fully acknowledged," said CWI director of cricket Miles Bascombe.
Joseph also issued an apology.
“I recognize that my passion got the best of me,” Joseph was quoted as saying in the CWI statement.
"I have personally apologized to captain Shai Hope and my teammates and management. I also extend my sincerest apologies to the West Indies fans — understand that even a brief lapse in judgment can have a far-reaching impact, and I deeply regret any disappointment caused.”
With the one-day series concluded, England and the West Indies meet in a five-match Twenty20 series beginning Saturday at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown.
