Major negligence of the administration has come to light in the voter list revision work (SIR) in Mahoba. The names of about 2300 villagers, including the head of Srinagar Gram Panchayat of Kabrai development block, have been missing from the voter list. The surprising thing is that even the name of the present head is not in the list. After complaining about this matter, the SDM has asked to fill the claim form and get the name added.

With the sound of three-tier Panchayat elections in Uttar Pradesh, the work of revising the voter list is going on at a fast pace. But in Mahoba district, such negligence of BLO and related employees has been exposed, which has raised questions on the entire election process.

Village head’s name removed from voter list

According to the information, the matter pertains to Srinagar Gram Panchayat of Kabrai development block. Where not one or two, but entire 2300 voters have been shown the way out of the list. The most shocking fact is that the current village head of Srinagar, Ashish Rajput himself has fallen prey to this negligence.

The names of Ashish Rajput as well as other members of his family and thousands of respected voters of the village are missing from the voter list. This major mistake made in a cursory manner has created a stir among the villagers. The distressed village head hastily reached the office of District Magistrate Ghazal Bhardwaj and pleaded for justice.

Voter list is being revised again – SDM

Taking cognizance of this serious matter, Mahoba SDM Shivdhyan Pandey said that the voter list is being amended under the instructions of the State Election Commission. Investigation is being done on the complaint given by Srinagar village head. The administration says that those whose names have been removed from the list should not panic. Voters can submit their claim by filling the relevant form between December 24 and December 30.

However, now the question arises that due to whose carelessness such a large number of names were deleted? At present, villagers and heads have started the process of filling forms to get back their democratic rights.

Following the instructions of the Jodhpur Chief Election Commission, the SIR (Special Intensive Revision) process is going on at a fast pace in many states across the country. Under this, thousands of government school teachers in Rajasthan have also been given the responsibility of BLO (Booth Level Officer). While performing this responsibility, a serious accident happened with a BLO from Jodhpur, but the surprising thing is that he is still doing duty.

50-year-old government teacher Yashvardhan Chauhan was given the responsibility of BLO on SIR duty. An accident happened to him during field verification itself. BLO Yashvardhan Singh Chauhan met with an accident on November 15 in Ship House area of ​​Jodhpur.

The tractor wheel had hit his chest.

According to the information, during field verification a car suddenly hit him. Due to the collision, he fell on the road and then the wheel of a tractor coming from behind ran over his chest. Two of his ribs were broken in the accident.

Doctors have advised him rest, but due to the completion of election work, he is still engaged in the field and online process.

Field duty from 9 am to 7 pm

To fill the SIR form, BLOs leave for the field at 9.00 am and remain in the field till 7.00 pm. After this they have to enter online till late night.

Yashvardhan himself told that he leaves home at 9.00 in the morning and works in the field till about 7.00 in the evening. The online process takes place only at night, because the server is so busy during the day that updates cannot be made.

BLO working by tying medical belt on broken ribs

He told that despite the accident, he is continuously performing his duty by tying a medical belt on his ribs and taking pain medicine. The family is worried that Yashvardhan is working even though the doctor has asked him to take rest.

Yashvardhan Singh Chauhan’s mother told, “We did not even know at first that he had an accident. The doctor has asked him to take rest, but he is working continuously. He takes medicine to reduce the pain and goes out into the field after tying his belt.”

humanitarian approach and security

This case shows that amidst the compulsions of the election process, many employees are working taking risks. The administration needs to take immediate cognizance of such cases and consider providing medical leave, support and additional BLO arrangements to the injured employees.

Amidst the political turmoil over the SIR of voter list being conducted in many states of the country, the teachers’ organization associated with the RSS has also raised questions. All India National Educational Federation (ABRSM), associated with the union, has demanded extension of the time limit of SIR. The organization has clearly said that it is impractical to complete the work of SIR in such a short time. Besides, a demand has been made to give a compensation of Rs 1 crore to the family members of the BLO who died and to give a government job to his dependent.

It is also said that the Election Commission has not made people aware about SIR, due to which both BLOs and voters are facing problems. Referring to the time limit and lack of resources and the attitude of the officials, it has been described as a violation of human rights of the teachers working as BLOs.

What demands did the organization associated with the Sangh put forth in the letter written to the EC?

Raising questions, it has been said that this kind of functioning of the Election Commission is not in accordance with the ethical norms in democratic institutions. The federation has written a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner demanding extension of time period for the SIR process. Mainly 6 major demands have been put forward through the letter-

• There has been a demand to extend the last date of SIR, so that this work can be done in a precise manner and with quality without any pressure.
• Ex-gratia compensation of Rs 1 crore should be given to the families of BLO teachers who died untimely death or committed suicide due to pressure from SIR and a government job should be given to one dependent. There should be a high level inquiry into the cases of BLOs who have committed suicide or fallen ill due to work pressure and action should be taken against the guilty officers.
• Technical assistants, computer operators or BLO associates should be made available at every booth or block. For this, selection can be made from among trained youth, computer science students or youth receiving unemployment allowance. BLOs should be provided with 5G network facility, tablet or laptop, traveling allowance and other necessary resources.
• Clear instructions should be given to the officers that they should refrain from any kind of threat, harassment, abusive language or punitive action.
• BLO teachers should be given respectable additional honorarium as per their workload and challenges.
• Additional BLOs should be deployed in inaccessible hilly, desert and remote places where there is more problem.

Letter sent on 24 November

This letter has been sent on 24 November. It is also said that this time due to technical and administrative problems, BLOs are facing a lot of difficulties in working. BLOs are working in very difficult conditions. Four major problems have been placed before the Election Commission. It has been said that due to lack of technical facilities and pressure and harassment from officials, the teachers working as BLOs are under mental pressure.

Allegation of abusive behavior with BLO also

It also says that the officers are behaving humiliatingly, which is not only a blatant violation of the human rights of teachers but is also disturbing to them. This type of functioning is not at all in accordance with the ethical standards in democratic institutions. Highlighting the technical flaws and lack of resources, it has been said that the BLO app and portal are crashing again and again. There is a problem in connectivity. Network is not available in remote areas. BLOs have to work with their own resources. There is a problem in online verification.

‘The pressure that the officials are putting is not at all appropriate’

;In the letter written to the Election Commission, it has also been said that the pressure that the officials are putting to complete the practical target on time is not justified at all, it is against the respect of teachers and is harassment of them. This is also not in accordance with the dignity of elections. Even after asking for two decades old records, questions have been raised through letters.

General Secretary of the organization, Professor Geeta Bhatt said, “It is hoped that the Election Commission will take this letter into cognizance.” Will pay attention to the problems raised through this and will definitely extend the time limit. However, after the RSS affiliate organization raised questions and demanded extension of time limit for SIR, a fresh debate has erupted on this issue. There is now a possibility of further heated politics on this issue.

Political turmoil continues regarding SIR. Other opposition parties including Congress are continuously alleging scams in SIR. Meanwhile, Jharkhand minister and Congress leader Irfan Ansari has given such a statement, which has created an uproar in politics. While giving a controversial statement, Irfan Ansari has appealed to the public that if BLO comes to your house, then stop it.

While talking to the public, Irfan Ansari has even claimed that the BLO is coming to your homes to remove your name from the voter list. He further said, “When he comes, lock him in the house and call me. Open the lock only after I come.”

‘After closing the BLO, call me, I will open the lock’

Not only this, Irfan Ansari says, “If someone is deducting your vote, deducting your name from the voter list, deducting your name from the Aadhaar card, then your bank account will be closed.” Referring to Bihar, the Jharkhand minister said, “There the names of 65 lakh people were struck off. Their identity was snatched away. I want to tell you all, if someone comes to strike off your name, then stop it and call me.”

Addressing the public, Irfan Ansari said, “These people have snatched your identity. They have made you an infiltrator. You will not get any rights in the society. Now SIR is being implemented in Bengal, then it will be implemented in Jharkhand. Do not let the BLO deduct your name at any cost.”

BJP angry over Irfan Ansari’s statement

BJP leaders are furious over this inflammatory statement of Irfan Ansari, minister in Hemant Soren government. BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdev said, “The minister has taken an oath to uphold the Constitution and the law and when he speaks against constitutional rules like this, he should be fired from the job.”

Amidst the ongoing SIR process in Uttar Pradesh, a female assistant teacher has resigned from the post of BLO (Booth Level Officer) due to work pressure. The teacher has written in her resignation letter that she is unable to perform both teaching and BLO responsibilities. His resignation letter is going viral on social media.

According to the information received, the name of the teacher is Pinky Singh. She is working as an assistant teacher in the upper primary school of Gejha located in Sector 94. It is being told that Pinky Singh is suffering from thyroid problem and is also facing family problems at home. Because of which she was not able to handle the burden of both the tasks.

Steps taken due to work pressure

Pinky Singh was given the responsibility of BLO of the polling station in Rockwood School, Sector-33. School Principal Neelam Singh said that the teacher had appealed not to install it after being on duty, but she was not listened to. After which the teacher resigned from the post of BLO.

The teacher wrote these things in his resignation letter

In the resignation letter of female teacher Pinky Singh that has gone viral, it is written, ‘My BLO part number is 206. The polling place is Rockwood School. There are 1179 voters in my part number. I have fed offline data of 215 voters. I am now resigning from my job because I will no longer be able to do this work.

He further wrote, ‘Neither teaching work nor BLO work will be possible.’ In the letter he has also appealed to return the election materials.

A very sad incident has come to light in Kodinar of Gir Somnath district of Gujarat which has shocked the education world. Booth Level Officer (BLO) and teacher Arvindbhai Vadher committed suicide due to unbearable burden of work and mental stress related to SIR and elections.

He committed suicide by hanging himself on Friday (21 November). A suicide note has also been found from the deceased. He has mentioned SIR in the suicide note and cited this as the reason behind giving up his life. He has written that he is tired of working in SIR.

The suicide of teacher Vadher, a resident of Deoli village of Kodinar and working in Chhara Kanya Primary School, has created a stir in the entire area. Arvindbhai Vadher was working as a teacher since 2010 and was recently assigned the work of BLO (Booth Level Officer). In the suicide note, he has written that he was tired of working in SIR and he took this step due to the extreme mental stress caused by it.

What did the BLO write in the suicide note?

He has written a suicide note addressed to his wife. In the suicide note found from the teacher, it is clearly written, “I will no longer be able to do this work of SIR.” I am tired of working at SIR. You take care of yourself and your son. I love both of you very much, but now I am very helpless.

Serious questions on education system and administration

This incident has raised serious questions on the education system of the state. Instead of teaching, teachers are continuously engaged in non-academic work, especially BLO work, which is having a negative impact on the work of education. Presently the situation is that, ‘Children look for teachers, teachers look for voters and voters look for names in the voter list.’

2 teachers died in last three days

It is noteworthy that this is the second incident in the state in the last three days, in which a teacher has died due to the workload of the BLO. The death of two teachers in three days has increased the pressure on the system from teachers unions and political parties of the state. There is a lot of anger among teachers against the work of BLO.

The world of social media is unique. No one can guess when something will go viral here. Sometimes a unique arrangement becomes popular, and sometimes someone’s cute, funny or different thing touches people’s hearts. These days, one such video is making waves on the internet. This video was shared on X with an account named @ashokshera94 and within no time it became popular on people’s timelines. The video is so funny that people are not able to stop laughing even after watching it again and again. Some liked Amma’s conversation, while others enjoyed BLO’s patience and funny situation.

What is so special in the video?

In the video, a BLO approaches an elderly woman i.e. Amma to get the SIR form filled. His job was to complete the form by taking Amma’s information. But as soon as the conversation starts, the atmosphere becomes very fun. The BLO first clears Amma’s identity by showing her photo. As soon as Amma sees the photo, she says, I have not received my money. Hearing this, the BLO also smiles and says, leave the money, first tell me, what is the name of the father, what was the name of the mother. After this, Amma starts answering each question in her slow, sweet and native dialect. His way of speaking and giving answers is so sweet and simple that the viewers smile involuntarily. BLOs also remain calm and note down each and every detail, as if it is a daily task but the fun is very different.
