BLOs protests in West Bengal over work pressure 'SIR'

Booth-level officers, engaged in the ongoing SIR process in West Bengal, scuffled with police personnel on Monday while trying to enter the CEO’s office here during a demonstration to protest against alleged excessive work pressure, a senior officer said.

Members of the BLO Adhikar Raksha Committee took out the



procession from College Square in north Kolkata, carrying locks and fetters to symbolically close the main entrance of the building in which the office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) is housed.

The demonstrators tried to breach police barricades to enter the CEO’s office in central Kolkata, the officer said.
