Voter's
I-card: Dr N.C. Goel, a resident of
Sector 21, was named as N.C. Nandwani in the
voter's I-card supplied in 1996. Nandwani happens
to be the surname of a neighbour of his. His wife
and son, however, have been named Goel. "I
was in an embarrassing position while
voting," he said. When the revision of the
voters' list took place earlier this year, he
submitted the required documents for a change in
the name on the card. But, even the current list
calls him A.C. Nandwani.
