The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voters’ lists, beginning Tuesday, is set to disrupt teaching and examinations in government schools across Madhya Pradesh.

Around 12,000 government school teachers have been assigned Booth Level Officer (BLO) duties, including nearly 1,000 in Bhopal district alone.

Teachers from single-teacher schools, higher secondary schools and even CM Rise (Sandipani) institutions have been deployed despite earlier assurances from the education department that such schools would be spared. In Bhopal, teachers from CM

Rise Schools in Nishatpura, Barkhedi and Karond have received BLO assignments.
