Order of Chief Secretary for release of Staff for SRER2009 issued

Chief Secretary, in his order bearing no. 2455-Home(Elec) dt 21.10.2008 has advised all departments to spare staff from govt offices/institutions etc for the ensuing revision of rolls starting on 10.11.2008.

The memo is being circulated.

BLO to be assigned his residential part.

I quote from ECI's instruction no. 23/2008/ERS dated 3.10.08:

"9.2: BLO should be identified from the electoral roll itself; i.e. BLO should be residing in the area which would be BLO's jurisdiction. This will facilitate off-hour work by the BLOs"

All DEOs/EROs may taken action accordingly.

I must make it clear that Commission's orders are not issued as of date but I expect the exact dates to be announced shortly.
