Sanitation workers appointed as BLOs for pre-SIR exercise in Hyderabad

Hyderabad's old city residents seeking voter list assistance encountered sanitation workers instead of trained officials. These workers, appointed due to staff shortages, lacked the necessary skills for the pre-SIR mapping exercise. They were equipped with smartphones to record voter details. Officials stated this is a temporary measure and replacements are expected soon.
