Ensure development works aren't hampered due to SIR: Bengal govt to district magistrates
The Statesman Siliguri
|November 09, 2025
Amid the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in West Bengal, the state government has instructed District Magistrates to ensure that the progress of development projects is not hampered because of the involvement of state government employees in the poll panel's exercise.
Since the District Magistrates are also the District Electoral Officers, the state government apprehends that their involvement with the SIR might lead to a lack of regular monitoring of the progress of the state government's development projects.
"Hence, the office of the Chief Secretary, Manoj Pant, had given instructions to the District Magistrates to rationalise their workload between their electoral responsibilities and state administrative assignments," a senior official from the state secretariat, Nabanna, said.
