Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday (March 21, 2026) said preliminary works for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls have begun in the State.

Speaking to reporters after attending a workshop conducted by the BJP, Mr. Saha said there is no need for people to panic over the exercise.

"The Election Commission has initiated SIR in different states to ensure that no valid voters are left out. In our state, officials have already begun preliminary work for the exercise even as formal notification is yet to be issued," he said.

The workshop, held at the Saheed Bhagat Singh Youth Hostel, was attended by BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh and former MP Vinod Sonkar, besides State ministers and party leaders.

"In today's workshop, we discussed how the party can extend help to the voters during the SIR exercise. We will ensure that no valid voter is left out of the electoral rolls," Mr. Saha said.
