A day after colleague’s suicide, BLOs in Kerala to boycott SIR
The death by suicide of a 41-year-old Booth Level Officer on Sunday, shortly after working through the night to meet targets for the ongoing SIR of electoral rolls in Kerala, has triggered sharp criticism of the process and of the arbitrary deadlines imposed on enumerators, which workers say place immense pressure on them. Thousands of BLOs are boycotting work on Monday.
