BLOs disappointed over low pay for demanding SIR work

What Happened
Booth Level Officers in Kerala express frustration after receiving ₹2,000 for months of Special Intensive Revision electoral work, far below the ₹6,000 paid in Bihar. The payment, insufficient to cover out-of-pocket expenses, came after extensive field visits, enumeration, and verification work from November through December. BLOs from various government departments feel undervalued.
