Can Bengal Meet SIR Deadline As 33 Lakh Notices Remain?

West Bengal’s SIR exercise appears off-track despite officials claiming it is on schedule. Over 33 lakh notices remain undelivered and more than 74 lakh hearings are pending, with only 40% of delivered cases heard. District-wise gaps persist, raising doubts over publishing the final electoral roll by February 14, ahead of assembly elections in coming months.
