Deaths Linked to Electoral Roll Revision Hearings Cause Concern in West Bengal

At least three elderly individuals in West Bengal have died in connection with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. An 82-year-old man in Purulia died by suicide hours before a hearing, with his family citing anxiety over his name missing from the draft list. Two other deaths, one from cardiac arrest and another shortly after receiving a notice, have also been linked by families to stress from the SIR process. Authorities are conducting inquiries into these incidents.
