Recruitment of BLOs already under way

- KAUSHIK PRADHAN & MUKESH RANJAN @Kolkata/New Delhi

IN what appears to be an indication of the immediate commencement of SIR (Special Intensive Revision) in West Bengal, the state administration has directed the appointment of electoral registration officers (EROs) and assistant electoral registration officers (AEROs) within 24 hours. The pending appointment of booth-level officers (BLOs) has also been asked to be completed within a specified timeframe.

The instructions to the state administration followed a letter from the Bengal Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Manoj Agarwal asking Chief Secretary Manoj Pant to fill up all vacant posts of EROs and AEROs.

According to sources at Nabanna, the state administrative headquarters, Agarwal also sent a letter to the district election officers (DEOs) or DMs (district magistrates) in this regard.
