Haryana CEO Launches 3-Day Blitz to Clear Pending SIR Notices

The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Haryana has launched a three-day drive starting October 7 to clear pending Special Intensive Revision (SIR) notices, aiming to resolve a backlog of hearing cases related to electoral roll discrepancies. The initiative is part of efforts to ensure an accurate and up-to-date voter list in the state.

According to official data, 57,339 pending hearing cases were disposed of on October 7 and 8, reducing the number of cases awaiting hearings to 285,834 out of the total notices generated. The SIR process involves verifying voter details and addressing objections, a critical exercise ahead of elections. The CEO's office has not issued specific quotes, but the drive underscores the commission's commitment to timely resolution.

The clearance drive is expected to streamline the electoral roll revision process and enhance voter confidence. Political parties are closely monitoring the SIR exercise, as it could impact the eligibility of numerous voters. The remaining cases are slated for resolution in the coming days, with the CEO urging officials to expedite the process without compromising accuracy.
