Karnataka CEO denies ‘mass SIR’ charge, says roll revision is proceeding as per ECI norms

Karnataka's Chief Electoral Officer, V. Anbu Kumar, has firmly denied allegations of a'mass SIR' (Service Instruction Report) manipulation during the voter roll revision process. Kumar clarified that all District Election Officers have been directed to ensure accurate enumeration through direct household visits by Booth Level Officers.
