Didi Plea to Include Health, PDS Cards as Valid, Rejected
The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|September 13, 2025
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has rejected the West Bengal government's request to include Swastha Sathi and ration (PDS) cards as documents to prove eligibility to be included in the voters' list during the course of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the state's electoral rolls, sources said on Friday.
After Bihar, the focus has now shifted to West Bengal, as the poll panel is gearing up to launch the SIR in the state ahead of the scheduled assembly elections in 2026.
It is to be noted here that Swastha Sathi card is given by the West Bengal government for its health insurance scheme, where the cost of the premium is borne by the state government.

So You Think You are an Empath?
In this epoch of information overload, we watch a thousand crises unfold every day, where the sacred mixes with the profane at top speed, where the latest war updates are followed in quick succession by clips on how to wear a mekhela chador the proper way, how to make naan on an overturned tawa, what Ji Chang Wook said at the Gucci launch. This is popcorn for the brain, a topic I have addressed in an earlier column; we ingest everything, gulp it down, then move quickly on to the next snippet. Who really has the time to linger?
