Kolkata, Dec. 12 -- West Bengal's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) has ended with a sweeping overhaul of the electoral database, as 58,08,202 names are set to be deleted from the draft voter list.
Election Commission (EC) officials confirmed on Thursday that this figure, which already crossed the 50-lakh mark earlier, represents the combined count of deceased, missing, relocated, bogus, and other disqualified voters identified during the weeks-long enumeration process.
