Manipur has begun holding training sessions of Block Level Officers and meetings with political parties for a Special Intensive Revision of the photo electoral rolls of the State, an exercise that the Election Commission of India is currently holding in Bihar and one that Opposition parties have criticised as being a roundabout way of conducting a National Register of Citizens.
Election officials in the State said that the training sessions and meetings with political leaders of the State for a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) are being conducted as per communication from the Election Commission of India “both formally and informally”.
