Opposition parties say Election Commission extending schedule shows SIR planned in haste
Opposition parties on Sunday slammed the Election Commissions decision to extend the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls by a week, saying the move only confirmed that the exercise had been launched in haste and without adequate preparation. The Congress, Trinamool Congress, CPI(M) and Samajwadi Party accused the poll body of pushing ahead with impractical timelines that were causing distress to voters and placing an excessive burden on Booth Level Officers (BLOs). Congress leader Pramod Tiwari said the EC had finally realised that the revision could not be completed within the earlier deadline. He urged the poll panel to follow the more extensive schedule used during the 2003 revision and warned that bypassing discussions on SIR suggested the government was unwilling to let Parliament function. The Trinamool Congress said the ECs decision validated its stance that the SIR was ill-conceived and rolled out without proper groundwork. Senior TMC leader Joyprakash Majumdar claimed that at least 40 people, including BLOs, had died due to stress linked to the revision drive in West Bengal, calling the entire process hasty and politically driven. In Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said the SIR had become a major trouble for voters and BLOs, arguing that verifying nearly 16 crore voters in a month was impossible. Accusing the EC of acting at the behest of the BJP, he warned that lakhs could be struck off the rolls, as allegedly seen in Bihar. Yadav reiterated his demand for a three-month extension and claimed several BLOs in the state had died due to extreme stress. Despite the criticism, the EC has maintained that the extension, applicable across nine states and three Union Territories was based on internal assessments with state election officials. Under the revised schedule, enumeration forms will be distributed until December 11, draft rolls published on December 16, and final lists released on February 14, 2026. (With inputs from PTI)

Wolf attacks claim lives of two kids within hours in Bahraich district in UP
LUCKNOW: Wolf attacks are sweeping through the Bahraich district and adjoining areas of central Uttar Pradesh. On Saturday, two wolf attacks took place within eight hours, claiming the lives of a five-year-old boy and a 10-month-old girl. Five-year-old Star, the son of Roshan Kumar, was dragged by two wolves that came out from the adjoining fields at 4:30 pm. Star was playing in front of his house in Mallahnpurva hamlet under the Kaiserganj police station area. As per the local eyewitness account, one of two wolves clamped the kids neck, and the other gripped his legs. Before family members could react, the wolves dragged him towards a sugarcane field. Villagers chased them with sticks, but the kid was mauled. He was found in a pool of blood, some 500 metres away. The wolves had eaten both the palms of the kid, said a local source. The boy was rushed from Kaiserganj CHC to Bahraich District Hospital and later referred to Lucknow due to his critical condition. He died on the way at around 11:30 pm after losing the battle for life after five hours. Star was the second of three children. His father, a labourer in Karnataka, rushed home upon receiving the news. The second tragic incident took place at around 1:30 am, nearly 70 km away in Khoriasafeek village, located near the Shravasti border. Ramadevi, who arrived at her maternal home four days earlier, was sleeping with her three children when a wolf snatched her 10-month-old daughter, Sunita, who was lying beside her. Hearing the infants screams, the mother woke up and cried for help. Villagers armed with sticks and torches launched a desperate search. After two and a half hours, they found the childs body 800 metres away in a sugarcane field in the wee hours. As per DFO Ram Singh Yadav, drones were deployed and combing intensified in the wilds. Three cages were placed, and villagers were advised not to leave the children alone. However, a few forest officials noted that the pugmarks in the second incident did not match those of wolves, raising the doubt of the involvement of a different predator. In the past three months, wolf packs in Bahraich and adjoining areas killed 10 people, most of them children, and injured at least 38 others. The alarming surge in the incidents of man-animal conflicts prompted CM Yogi Adityanath to visit the district and issue orders permitting the killing of the man-eater predators. Four wolves were shot dead. Despite intensified patrols and combing operations, fear grips the region as families keep children indoors and hoping to avert the next attack.

Petition In Supreme Court Wants 3-Month Extension For UPs SIR, Says Timeline 'Unrealistic' | News18
The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) Azad Trust moved the Supreme Court seeking a three-month extension to the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh, arguing that the current four-week window is administratively unworkable for a state with over 15.35 crore voters.Filed as a public interest litigation, the petition argues that compressing the verification exercise into a month risks large-scale disenfranchisement, particularly among rural voters, and could result in erroneous deletions from the rolls. n18oc_indian18oc_breaking-newsNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
