The Election Commission of India is conducting Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in 12 states and union territories of the country. These also include Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, where assembly elections are to be held next year. In the first phase, the Election Commission had conducted SIR in Bihar, where the opposition had alleged that the votes of many legitimate people had also been deducted. Opposition parties in UP and Bengal are also making similar allegations. Apart from this, TMC in Bengal alleges that BLOs are committing suicide due to work pressure.
The Election Commission has taken a big decision. ECI has doubled the salary of BLOs and BLO supervisors engaged in SIR campaign. The Election Commission has increased the salary of booth level officers from Rs 6000 to Rs 12,000. The salary of BLO supervisors has been increased from Rs 12,000 to Rs 18,000.
