Bengal SIR: EC warns of action if voters aged 85 and above called for hearings

Strict action awaits Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and their supervisors if elderly, sick, or disabled voters are summoned for hearings. Despite prior instructions, reports indicate these vulnerable individuals, including pregnant women, were still asked to appear. The Election Commission now mandates home verification for such electors, aiming to prevent distress and uphold its image.
