The Election Commission of India has appointed four additional Special Roll Observers (SROs) for West Bengal to enhance supervision of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. These observers will monitor revision and verification exercises to ensure transparency, accuracy, and adherence to instructions, aiming to strengthen public confidence in electoral integrity. While the ECI emphasizes smooth operations, the Trinamool Congress has alleged large-scale irregularities and institutional failure within the SIR process, citing an AERO's resignation.
