The Election Commission of India has appointed four additional Special Roll Observers (SROs) for West Bengal to enhance supervision of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. These appointments aim to ensure transparency, accuracy, and public confidence in the electoral process. While Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar welcomed the move to create a flawless voter list, the Trinamool Congress has alleged large-scale irregularities and an "institutional failure" within the EC, citing the resignation of an Assistant Electoral Registration Officer due to perceived flaws in the process.
