Yusuf Pathan Urges More SIR Tribunals as Bengal Appeals Figures Clarified
Yusuf Pathan, Lok Sabha MP and NCPI member, urged Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari to establish Special Intensive Revision (SIR) tribunals in every district to ease voter appeal processes. He highlighted challenges faced by many, especially vulnerable groups, due to limited tribunal locations. Official data reveals only about 7 lakh of the 27 lakh voters excluded during SIR have appealed, contradicting earlier reports of higher appeal numbers. The Bengal government is reportedly considering measures to simplify and make the process more accessible.
