Clashes and Protests Over Electoral Roll Revision and Form 7 Submission in West Bengal

Violent protests and clashes erupted across West Bengal during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, particularly over the submission of Form 7 used to object to voter entries. BJP and Trinamool Congress supporters frequently confronted each other, with incidents of snatching and destruction of forms reported. Several Block Development Offices (BDOs) in districts like South and North 24 Parganas were vandalised amid allegations of harassment and denial of acknowledgement slips despite Supreme Court directives. Both parties accused each other of obstructing the process, while authorities sought to maintain order and ensure transparency.
