West Bengal BLOs Request Security Ahead of Voter Re-enrolment Drive
An association of Booth Level Officers (BLOs) in West Bengal has written to Chief Electoral Officer Neelam Meena requesting security during a special drive to re-enrol voters whose names were deleted in the recent special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. BLOs expressed concern about facing public anger, especially in eight districts where many names were removed without their involvement. The drive aims to verify documents and include eligible voters ahead of the Assembly elections in April.
