The Election Commission on Saturday began publishing the post-Special Intensive Revision (SIR) electoral rolls across West Bengal in phases, with Bankura reporting a net deletion of around 1.18 lakh names since the exercise began. Hard copies of the updated rolls were displayed in districts including Bankura and Cooch Behar, while the lists were not yet fully accessible online at the time of publication. The revision has led to significant changes in several Kolkata constituencies, with thousands of names either removed, placed under review, or marked under adjudication following hearings and scrutiny.
