The officer there signed and gave it to me but he didn't see the photo. This is playing with my dignity. 

I will go to the Block Development Officer (BDO) office and request that this should not happen again," 

The Block Development Officer (BDO) has said that the picture has already been corrected and Mr Karmakar will get the revised ID card with the correct photo.The Election Commission has completed its investigation into the matter and is taking action against the person responsible.
