KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Manoj Kumar Agarwal on Saturday sought a report from the Nadia District Magistrate on the death of a Booth Level Officer (BLO), sources in the administration said.
In the meantime, the CEO's office has asked Nadia District Magistrate Aneesh Dasgupta to submit a report immediately.
The Election Commission of India also contacted the Nadia District Magistrate over the phone, according to sources.
It was also mentioned that the Election Commission has not yet received a report from the Jalpaiguri District Magistrate on the death of a booth-level officer on Wednesday.
The Commission also wondered why there was so much delay in sending the report by the District Magistrates on the death of booth-level officers.
The development came hours after another Booth Level Officer (BLO) died in West Bengal, allegedly due to Special Intensive Revision (SIR) related "work pressure".
Today's incident came three days after the suicide of a female BLO in the Mal Bazar area of Jalpaiguri district in north Bengal over the same reason.
This time, a female BLO hanged herself in the Shasthitala area of Krishnanagar in Nadia district on Saturday morning.
