Kolkata, Nov 8 (PTI) The poll body on Saturday show-caused eight Booth Level Officers (BLOs) in West Bengal for allegedly distributing enumerating forms for the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) from tea stalls, local clubs and other places instead of visiting individual households, officials said.

The ECI also issued a new set of directives to ensure strict adherence to procedures during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state.

Officials at the state Chief Electoral Office here said the ECI have expressed dissatisfaction over the lapses and has directed all District Election Officers (DEOs) and District Magistrates to ensure that BLOs personally visit every voter’s residence to distribute and collect forms in compliance with electoral norms.
