Former chief election commissioner Navin Chawla passes away at 79
Former chief election commissioner (CEC) Navin Chawla, whose tenure in the poll panel was mired in controversy over allegations of bias, passed away on Saturday. He was 79. Condoling the passing of Chawla, the Election Commission said he led many reforms, including enabling third gender voters to exercise a preference to vote in a new category of 'Other', instead of being compelled to vote as 'Male' or 'Female'.

The poll body recalled in a statement that Chawla as the 16th CEC advocated for constitutional reforms to bring on par the process of removal of election commissioners with that of the CEC.
«His leadership and commitment to the electoral process will continue to inspire us at the Election Commission of India,» the statement said.
Another former CEC, SY Quraishi, told PTI that he met Chawla some 10 days back when the latter had informed that he was getting admitted to hospital for a brain surgery.
«He passed away this morning at Apollo Hospital,» Quraishi said, adding that he was cheerful when they last met.
