West Bengal offers 8,505 Group-B officers for SIR amid Supreme Court scrutiny
The West Bengal government has conveyed its readiness to provide officers from the state administration and its institutions to support the SIR campaign. The development is significant, especially after the Election Commission, during a February 4 hearing in the Supreme Court, stated that the state had deployed only 80 Grade-2 officers, such as Sub-Divisional Magistrates, to oversee the process.
