Dankuni tragedy rekindles row over SIR process in West Bengal
A fresh controversy erupted in West Bengal after a 60-year-old woman, Hasina Begum, from Dankuni, Hooghly, reportedly died of stress linked to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls. TMC blamed the SIR process for her death, while BJP dismissed the claim as a conspiracy. The incident adds to earlier SIR-linked fatalities across Bengal amid rising political tension.
