Party-appointed BLAs barely present as Delhi’s month-long SIR exercise clocks four days
A month-long electoral roll revision exercise in Delhi is facing challenges as party-appointed Booth Level Agents (BLAs) are largely absent from the field. Despite political parties claiming to have deployed thousands of agents, election officials report that many residents remain unaware of the process due to the lack of ground-level support.

The report highlights a failure in administrative process by citing both official data and on-the-ground observations.
