Teachers Face Challenges Balancing BLO Duties and Classroom Teaching During Electoral Roll Revision
Teachers in Delhi and Karnataka assigned as Booth Level Officers (BLOs) for the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls face significant challenges. Delhi teachers report no days off since May 2026, balancing demanding BLO duties with teaching and family responsibilities. In Karnataka, many teachers have been absent from classrooms for months, leading to disrupted learning for students who attend combined classes or miss exams. Both regions highlight the strain on educators and the impact on students during the SIR process.
