This report from Kishangunj, a region near India’s porous borders with Nepal and Bangladesh, investigates the challenges faced by the Election Commission’s special intensive revision of electoral rolls. The inquiry finds a complex situation where the local population includes migrants from Bengal and Bangladesh, with many having cross-border marriages. The investigation reveals that Booth Level Officers (BLOs), who are meant to be the EC’s ground-level representatives, are facing scrutiny. One BLO was found holding forms for 27 Nepali citizens separately. The report questions the ease of procuring official documents, complicating the verification of citizenship. A key quote from an official on the BLO’s role states, "He said that BLO is in our ears and in our eyes." #kishanganj #voterlist #electioncommission #itwebvideos #indiatodayinvestigation #bordersecurity #electoralrolls #voterfraud #nepal #bangladesh #illegalimmigration #purnia #blo
