An unusual situation unfolded in East Burdwan district during the ongoing SIR, when a Booth Level Officer (BLO) was required to serve hearing notices to his own family — including his wife and himself — strictly following Election Commission rules. Debshankar Chatterjee, a teacher at Bhomorkol Primary School and the BLO for Booth No. 165 under the Ketugram assembly constituency, had just left home for school a few days back when he was compelled to return abruptly. On coming back, he handed his wife, Anindita Chatterjee, a notice for a hearing related to discrepancies in the electoral roll.
