A 46-year-old station-level officer (BLO) died by suicide in the storage room of his house in Baheri village, apparently due to work-related stress, police said on Sunday. Sarvesh Singh, an assistant teacher posted at a school in Bhagatpur Tanda village, was given CAA duties on October 7 – his first time serving in that role, PTI reported. According to the police, Sarvesh’s wife Babli found her husband hanging himself around 4 am. Sarvesh admitted in a suicide note that he felt suffocated and said there was not enough time for the work he was given. “BLA Sarvesh Singh committed suicide and left a suicide note saying that he could not handle the burden of BLA duty. His body has been sent for post-mortem,” Circle Officer (Thakurdwara) Ashish Pratap Singh said. Besides his wife, the couple’s four daughters survive him. A Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is underway in several states, including Uttar Pradesh. The feverish exercise seems to have taken its toll on many government workers who have been scrambling to weed out inaccuracies and prepare electoral rolls with only genuine voters. On Saturday, a 42-year-old CAA involved in the SIR collapsed and died at his home in Rajasthan’s Dholpur. Anuj Garg collapsed late Saturday night while uploading voter data. His family claimed he was working under extreme pressure, police said. Meanwhile, the Election Commission on Sunday extended the entire schedule for the ongoing special intensive revision of electoral rolls in nine states and three Union territories by one week amid allegations by opposition parties that the “tight timelines” were causing problems for people and ground-level polling officials. Election Commission (EC) officials said the schedule has been adjusted to allow its booth-level officials to share details of dead, duplicate and shifted voters with booth-level agents of parties for greater transparency. Most states conducted their last SIR of the electoral rolls between 2002 and 2004, and they are almost done mapping current voters based on those records. The main purpose of this exercise is to identify and remove foreign illegal migrants by verifying voters’ place of birth. The move gained importance amid ongoing crackdowns across several states against undocumented migrants, including those from Bangladesh and Myanmar. Help is available!
