Summary:
Forthcoming General Elections will be held using electoral roll prepared on the basis of ongoing Electoral Roll Summary Revision Programme. “Action (issuing warrants) taken by EROs/AEROs is not consistent with the provision of law framed for Government Employees,” the statement said. Days after arrest warrants were issued against three teachers from Navsari district for remaining absent from Election Commission’s electoral roll revision duty, it has come to light that 18 other booth-level officers (BLOs) faced similar action. Navsari district’s Gandevi taluka Mamlatdar (Taluka Chief officer) had issued arrest warrants against three female teachers and instructed police to arrest them immediately. For preparation of updated and error free electoral roll, sincerity of BLOs is necessary..
