Lata Mangeshkar finally gets a voter identity Card

Thursday, July 30, 2009

Absence of details and photo of melody queen Lata Mangeshkar has not stopped the Election Commission from making a voter identity card for her.

"We had approached Lataji for the card earlier but she had not submitted the details or the photograph, failing which the photo I-card was not made," District Deputy Election Officer Sanjay Bhagwat told reporters.

But determined that the card be made, the officials downloaded her photograph from the Internet and made the document.

"We delivered the card at her residence yesterday. In absence of her responding to our pleas for submitting a photograph, we downloaded it from the net and prepared the card," he said.

"The person who delivered the card at the Mangeshkar's Peddar Road residence was given photo and details of her brother and noted music composer Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar and his musician son Adinath," Bhagwat said.

"We now want to demonstrate just how easy it is to get a card online," he said.
