Authorities have directed supervisors to watch Booth Level Officers closely. They must clear field-level hurdles to meet Election Commission of India deadlines. The department praised the field staff for their dedication to this massive project. Officials now ask any residents missing a form to step up. They urged voters to "cooperate with Booth Level Officers during house-to-house visits or contact their respective BLOs for assistance to ensure an accurate and inclusive electoral roll."
