KOLKATA: Nearly 14 lakh SIR enumeration forms have so far been identified as "uncollectable" in West Bengal, the Election Commission said.

These forms are "uncollectable" since the voters were either absentee, duplicate, dead or permanently shifted, an official said.

"As of Tuesday noon, the number stood at 13.92 lakh. We expect this figure to continue rising daily as more updates roll in," he said. The figure was 10.33 lakh on Monday evening, he added.

Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have been actively engaged in distributing the forms and gathering necessary details, the official said.

More than 80,600 BLOs, along with around 8,000 supervisors, 3,000 Assistant Electoral Registration Officers and 294 Electoral Registration Officers, have been engaged for the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state, he said.
