But Bareilly district administration is trying to speed up the work. A statewide data for Uttar Pradesh shows that more than 63% of the forms have been submitted. But this figure may be different in different districts. So far 56% forms have been submitted in Bareilly district. Both people and Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are facing problems in filling and submitting SIR forms in Bareilly city. Problems like server down while uploading the forms to BLO officers, names of people not matching in the 2003 counting list, or those who do not have correct information about which document to submit, these problems mainly include lack of time, work pressure and non-cooperation by some voters. You can also submit the SIR form online yourself.
Many voters are still waiting for their BLO to fill the form and submit it back. Due to which the work is getting delayed. Complaints have also come from some places that voters are misbehaving with BLOs. Or not cooperating. Forms of about 15.84 lakh voters have been uploaded in Bareilly, but more than 2.83 lakh names have not been found in the voter list of 2003, due to which there is difficulty in verification. At the booths where less than 5% of the forms have been digitized, officials are being called and reviewed and instructions have been given for action.
Santosh Kumar Singh, Additional District Magistrate, while talking to News 18 Local, said that the process of SIR is being conducted at every booth by the Election Commission from November 4 to December 4.
