PURNIA, June 28 -- Election commission of India (ECI) held a high -level meeting with the top officials of three divisions -- Darbhanga, Kosi and Purnia comprising 12 districts in Bihar's Purnia on Friday. Deputy election commissioner Sanjay Kumar explained SIR (Special Intensive Revision) to the officers attending the meeting. The meeting was held on the day when the Opposition parties in Patna raised their voices against SIR alleging it would deprive a large number of poor voters citing they will hardly offer any papers to prove their citizenship. Explaining SIR 2025, Kumar stressed the need for the inclusion of all bona fide citizens in the age group 18 or above so that they can't be denied their voting rights. At the same time, he insisted on removing the names of ineligible or ghost voters from the rolls. "Our entire process of whether inclusion or deletion of names from electoral rolls should be transparent," he stressed. Justifying the SIR, he said, "Last time the intensive revision of rolls was conducted in 2003 and since then it has become imperative to revise it for various reasons such as names at two places, migration, delayed information about the death of any voter etc." Pointing out the objections or claims made by any one, he said, "Assistant election registration officer (AERO) will investigate it first and later Election registration officer (ERO) will decide it," adding "One can appeal to district magistrate (DM) and chief electoral officer against the ERO." Explaining the role of booth level officers (BLOs), he said, "They have been assigned to visit every house and help the voters to fill in the forms provided by them. Pre-filled enumeration forms may be uploaded online." Besides district magistrates of 12 districts of the three divisions, divisional commissioners of Darbhanga division Kaushal Kishor and Rajesh Kumar divisional commissioner of Purnia and Kosi divisions were also present in the workshop. Earlier Purnia district magistrate Anshul Kumar welcomed the officers who attended the meeting....
