Chennai, Nov. 10 -- Tamil Nadu chief minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) president MK Stalin on Friday reiterated his concerns over the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) in the state, singling out perceived procedural flaws in the exercise, ahead of the planned protest against the move on November 11.

"If the booth-level officers (BLOs) do not perform their duties properly, the entire exercise will be affected," he said, adding, "The Election Commission (EC) had promised to facilitate smooth coordination between the BLOs and booth-level agents (BLAs) from political parties. Despite the promise, no environment conducive to the same has yet been created. Even though DMK BLAs are ready, BLOs are absent in many places."
