A shocking incident came to light during the Voter List Revision (SIR) in Purulia district of West Bengal. The Chakraborty family, separated for almost four decades, has now reunited. In fact, the sudden disappearance of elder son Vivek Chakraborty from home in 1988 was a shock for the family. He was searched for years, but no clue was found. It seemed that this meeting was now impossible, but the SIR campaign opened the door which the family had thought closed. The family has also given complete information about this.
How did you meet through SIR?
Vivek’s younger brother Pradeep Chakraborty is a Booth Level Officer (BLO) of the same area. His name and mobile number were recorded in the SIR form. Vivek’s son lived in Kolkata and did not know anything about his uncle. He contacted Pradeep for the documents. Initially the conversation was limited to papers, but gradually the mysteries of the family started getting resolved.
What did Vivek’s younger brother Pradeep Chakraborty tell?
Pradeep said, “My elder brother never came home after 1988. We searched everywhere. When the boy’s answers started matching the personal information of our family, then I realized that I was talking to my nephew.”
What did Vivek say about SIR?
In this way, after 37 years, the eldest son of the Chakraborty family, Vivek returned home. After a long silence between the two brothers, an outpouring of emotions began. Vivek said, “It is an indescribable joy to return home and meet my family after 37 years. I thank the Election Commission, because if the SIR process had not happened, this reunion would not have been possible.”
