SIR effective

The recent reports from the Bengal border show how the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) helps keep the voters’ list clean and accurate. When verification becomes strict, people without proper documents hesitate to remain on the rolls. 

This protects the rights of genuine citizens and ensures that elections are conducted fairly. The return of undocumented migrants across the border clearly shows that SIR is an effective tool to prevent misuse of our democratic system.

Opposition from groups like the INDI Front often arises because strict verification exposes long-standing irregularities in the electoral rolls. Some parties fear losing vote banks built on doubtful entries, so they question the SIR process. But SIR is essential for maintaining trust in elections. It gives confidence to ordinary voters that only eligible citizens will decide the future of the country. 

A clean and transparent voter list is the foundation of a healthy democracy, and SIR plays a key role in achieving that.
