Theman said that he had applied for a correction in his voter ID card and when hereceived a revised card, it had a dog's photo instead of his own.
Karmakar said, "Yesterday I was called at DulalSmriti School and this voter ID card was given to me. I saw the photo. Theofficer there signed and gave it to me but he didn't see the photo. This isplaying with my dignity. I will go to the BDO office and request that this shouldnot happen again."
However, the Block Development Officer (BDO) hassaid that the picture has already been corrected and Mr Karmakar will get therevised ID card with the correct photo.
The BDO said that it's not his final voter ID card.If there is a mistake, it'll be corrected.

He'll get the final ID card with thecorrect photo, he added.
