Kolkata: Mayor Firhad Hakim on Tuesday held a meeting with the KMC councillors regarding the ongoing SIR exercise across 144 wards. Hakim instructed the councillors to maintain communication with the BLAs of their respective wards and to observe whether the official Trinamool app, Didir Doot, was being updated,
A councillor from North Kolkata stated that Hakim was concerned about the fate of genuine voters whose names might be absent from the draft SIR list. The councillor said, "We have been asked to monitor activities of BLAs to protect the interest of genuine voters. We may need to bail out a genuine voter whose name may not be there in the voter list."
