Bengal Electoral Roll Revision Hearings Begin Amidst TMC MP's Harassment Allegations

Hearings for West Bengal's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls have begun, with over 3.2 million "unmapped" voters summoned. Trinamool Congress MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar alleged harassment by the Election Commission after four of her family members, including her mother and sons, were summoned due to their names missing from draft rolls. The EC stated her claims are misleading, citing a lack of linkage in enumeration forms. The process aims to clean up voter lists ahead of upcoming elections.
