Less than three days after a government teacher working as a Booth Level Officer (BLO) died in Kheda district, another teacher serving as a BLO in Gir Somnath’s Kodinar — Gujarat Education Minister Pradyuman Vaja’s Assembly constituency — died, allegedly by suicide, early on Friday. The victim allegedly blamed stress due to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Arvindkumar Muljibhai Vadher, aged around 39, a government primary school teacher at Chhara Kanya Primary School and a resident of Devali village, was found dead in his home.

In a note addressed to his wife, Vadher reportedly blamed SIR duties. “For the last several days, I am exhausted and mentally overburdened by the work of SIR… I do not have any other way but to take this last step,” he wrote.
