TMC Protests Disrupt Bengal Electoral Roll Hearings Over BLA Inclusion

Trinamool Congress workers and MLAs disrupted Special Intensive Revision (SIR) hearings in West Bengal, demanding the inclusion of Booth Level Agents (BLAs) to ensure transparency in electoral roll updates. The Election Commission of India stated BLAs were excluded to prevent disruptions. Protests occurred in multiple locations, including Hooghly and Bardhaman, temporarily halting proceedings. The BJP criticized the TMC's actions, warning of election disruptions if the process is not completed properly, while TMC leaders cited the need for BLAs to monitor voter removals.
