Gonda SIR Drive: With the deadline for the Special Intensive Revision Campaign (SIR) drawing close, the district administration has urged voters to complete and submit their counting forms without delay. Despite Sunday being a public holiday, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) were seen collecting forms across polling booths to ensure maximum coverage.

Officials said that 79.74 per cent of voter counting forms have been digitised so far. However, 24.28 per cent of these forms have not yet been mapped on the website. Another 17.02 per cent of forms could not be collected as they belonged to deceased voters, those who have shifted permanently or individuals registered in more than one location.

Only four days remain for submission and 3.24 per cent of voter forms are still incomplete or pending digitisation.
