The West Bengal government has informed the Election Commission it is ready to provide 8,505 Group B officers for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state. This statement comes after the poll panel told the Supreme Court on February 4, 2026, that only 80 Grade 2 officers, such as SDMs, were made available. The court is set to hear several pleas about the SIR process on February 9, 2026. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who argued in the Supreme Court on February 4, may attend again on February 9. Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, representing the poll panel, said the state had only supplied low-ranked employees like Anganwadi workers for the task. Banerjee denied this, saying the state provided all requested support. The chief minister also appealed to the top court to intervene to "save democracy," claiming the state and its people were under pressure. The Supreme Court noted her petition, emphasizing that only genuine voters should remain on the rolls. It ordered replies from the Election Commission and the state's Chief Electoral Officer by February 9. The court also instructed officers to be more sensitive when issuing notices for minor errors such as spelling mistakes in names. Earlier, on January 19, the court had ruled that the SIR process should be transparent and cause no inconvenience. This update highlights ongoing tensions and scrutiny over West Bengal's voter list revision ahead of elections.
