  "account": "Delhi SIR: Aadhaar alone not enough, BLOs asked to seek 'citizenship proof' from voters\n\nIn Delhi, electors who submitted only Aadhaar cards in response to notices for “no mapping” during the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls are now facing another round of scrutiny. Booth-level officers (BLOs) across constituencies in the national capital are being asked to collect additional documents as proof of citizenship. Despite submitting field verification reports and undertaking confirmations of eligibility, EROs are directing BLOs to seek additional documents to establish that voters are not \"Bangladeshi\" or \"Rohingya\".",
  "summary": "Regarding those electors flagged for ‘no mapping’ notices, several BLOs claim that Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) were directing them to revisit voters and seek additional documents to establish that they were not ‘Bangladeshi’ or ‘Rohingya’",
