Poll panel likely to extend SIR process in Telangana by three weeks
HYDERABAD: The SIR process in Telangana is likely to be extended by at least three weeks, with the ECI expected to issue an order shortly, according to highly placed sources in the election commission.
Telangana Chief Electoral Officer C Sudarshan Reddy confirmed to TNIE that he had written to the Election Commission of India (ECI) a few days ago seeking an extension of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, but declined to divulge details of the communication.
The development comes days after Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy also urged the ECI to extend the SIR timeline.
