Barmer, Nov. 26 -- From camel rides to long walks across shifting dunes, the Special Intensive Revision in bordering Barmer district is unfolding as a remarkable mission-where dedicated BLOs are overcoming distance, isolation and connectivity challenges to ensure error-free voter records. Barmer district, known as one of Rajasthan's most geographically challenging regions, is witnessing extraordinary electoral fieldwork under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) programme. With scattered settlements and voters living across remote dhaanis, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are walking through sand dunes, travelling on camels, and sometimes staying overnight in villages to ensure every eligible voter is reached. When the Election Commission of India rolled out the SIR programme, completing the work on time appeared daunting. To overcome the challenge, the local administration devised a special strategy - taking the voter verification process directly to every doorstep. In the border village of Bawarla near the India-Pakistan boundary, SDM Sedwa Badrinarayan Vishnoi himself joined the ground effort. He and his team trekked nearly two kilometres over shifting sand dunes to verify voter locations from the Kolhi, Bhil, and Devasi communities. Speaking about the effort, Vishnoi said, "Reaching every voter in these remote dunes is not just our responsibility - it is our commitment to democracy. Even if it means walking miles or riding camels, the work must be done." To ensure accuracy, BLOs visited every house, appealed to families to cooperate, and guided them in submitting necessary documents. Officials requested residents to provide coloured photographs, EPIC numbers, Aadhaar details, and mobile numbers to update or verify records. "We are asking citizens to support the SIR programme by giving correct information so their voting rights remain intact," said one Vishnoi, adding, "Sometimes we walk five to seven kilometres just to reach one household, but people are cooperating." What more, in remote regions of Chohtan and Sheo, BLOs have set up temporary camps to speed up the process. With long travel distances and limited transportation options, many officers rely on camels and sometimes stay overnight in voters' homes. Internet connectivity posed another challenge. Teams have had to locate specific points in the desert where digital submission of forms becomes possible. Despite these hurdles, morale remains high. "The terrain is tough, but our resolve is tougher. We want Barmer to set an example in electoral participation," a BLO said proudly. Their dedication is already showing results. Barmer district has emerged as a leading performer in the SIR exercise, demonstrating how determination can overcome even the harshest geography....
