SIR in West Bengal done in hurry, may jeopardise democratic participation: Amartya Sen

Nobel laureate Amartya Sen expressed concern over the SIR process in West Bengal, warning that it is being conducted with "undue haste" and may jeopardize democratic participation. He highlighted the lack of adequate time for voters to submit documents and cited his own experience encountering bureaucratic hurdles during the revision process. Sen emphasized that such revisions should be conducted carefully and with sufficient time, particularly considering the upcoming assembly elections.
