Dehradun, 17 Aug: Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Dr BVRC Purushottam today reviewed the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) campaign with all the district magistrates through video conference from the Secretariat. During the review meeting, he directed both the divisional commissioners to camp in their allotted districts for the next fifteen days and conduct field visits.

The Chief Electoral Officer also directed that the booths with more than four per cent applications under Form 6 and more than two per cent under Form 7 be cross‑verified by the EROs. He emphasised that claims and objections under Forms 6, 7 and 8 should be examined strictly as per rules and disposed of within the prescribed timeframe.
Purushottam further ordered that the process of verification and disposal be carried out with transparency and accountability, ensuring that applicants are given adequate opportunity and that records are thoroughly checked.
Among those present at the meeting were Additional Chief Electoral Officer Vijay Kumar Jogdande, Joint Chief Electoral Officer Prakash Chandra Dumka, Deputy Chief Electoral Officer Kishan Singh Negi, Assistant Chief Electoral Officer Mastu Das along with all the district magistrates.
