KOLKATA: A section of Booth Level Officers (BLOs) on Thursday wrote a letter to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of West Bengal, seeking deployment of paramilitary forces after receiving threats to include “false names” in the voter’s list.
The BLOs, as part of the Electoral Workers Unity Forum, said they must be given security when they go to booth-level areas for election duty as part of the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
They alleged that threats are coming from different places, even though the SIR notification was yet to be issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
