Bihar: Contact voters individually to complete forms under SIR
NEW DELHI: With collection of enumeration forms (EFs) under the special intensive revision (SIR) in Bihar already covering 91 per cent of its electorate after accounting for the deceased, permanently shifted and people enrolled at more than one place, Election Commission has asked booth level officers to individually contact the remaining electors to assist them to turn in their EFs well in time.
Meanwhile, electors who handed over their filled-up enumeration forms to the booth level officers directly or through booth level agents appointed by political parties, can, starting Tuesday night, check the status of their forms on ECINeT or EC's voters portal. "The purpose of the new module is to ensure full transparency and a direct interface between the elector and EC; it will allow any elector to enter his EPIC no.
and view for himself if his enumeration form has been accepted by the BLO," a senior EC official told TOI. All electors who submit their forms by July 25 will be included in Bihar's draft electoral roll to be published on Aug 1, 2025.
A SIR update shared by EC on Tuesday said EFs have been collected from 86.3 per cent of Bihar's 7.9 crore electorate, with 10 more days to go for the deadline. Over 6.2 crore forms have been uploaded on ECINet.

Sparing no effort to ensure that all eligible electors are included in the draft electoral roll, the third round of household visits by the nearly 1 lakh BLOs will soon begin to collect EFs of Bihar's remaining 9.2 per cent electorate. This will cover households where the electors were temporarily absent during the previous visits.
Special camps have been established in all the 5,683 wards of 261 urban local bodies of Bihar and newspaper advertisements issued to ensure that the remaining electors fill their EFs well in time. Such electors are also being encouraged by the BLOs to fill up their forms online using the ECINet app on their mobile phones or through the online form on https://voters.eci.gov.in.
Through ECINet, electors can fill out their EFs online and search for their names in the 2003 electoral roll. The electors can also connect with their election officials, including their BLOs, using the ECINet app.

Social media can't keep calm as Trump labels 'Epstein hoax'
It was hard not to pause and double-check when a photo of Jack Posobiec carrying the 'declassified' and very controversial Epstein files went viral on the internet. No one could ignore the irony, and especially not the hawk-eyed netizens. While the Epstein files have been at the centre of the controversy since 2016, this time it was the cover of the binder that caught our attention. The binder, labeled 'The Epstein Files: Phase 1', complete with a Department of Justice seal, also came with a little humble description of the department itself. The description read as follows: 'The Most Transparent Administration in History.' This declaration was followed by 'The 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump'. The label on the folder may have sounded like satire, it wasn't. It was a show, a declaration, a performance of transparency. But behind the pageantry lies a stunning reversal that even Trump's most diehard followers are struggling to defend. For years, Trump and his circle leaned heavily into the idea of releasing 'everything' about Jeffrey Epstein. And Trump's followers were impatiently waiting for their dear President to expose what is in those files, but for all the promises and rhetoric, Trump has failed on his promise. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo And not just that, he has asked his followers to move on from the past and forget about, probably one of the most controversial cases involving the rich and the powerful. 'Don't waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about,' he posted on Truth Social, a stunning statement given how much political capital he previously poured into the Epstein saga. But no one is convinced. In the comment section of the post, people really wrote what they thought out, including people showing disappointment in their President. One user wrote, 'Yes, the most transparently corrupt and criminal administrations in US history, bar none.' A second user pointed out, 'The WHOLE reason people believe that it's all a bunch of politicians who are the clients is because why else wouldn't there be ANY clients? None? The ONLY answer is that it is a cover-up for people in power or influence or money..' A third user retorted sharply, 'Who knew phase 2 was denying the list ever existed besides fucking everyone.'

Oppn slams govt over hospital killing
Patna: The opposition in Bihar on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Nitish Kumar-led govt over the law and order situation after a convicted prisoner was shot dead inside a private hospital in Patna. Citing the daylight murder as evidence of administrative collapse, several political leaders expressed alarm at the state's deteriorating security environment. Independent MP from Purnia, Pappu Yadav, met governor Arif Mohammed Khan and demanded the imposition of President's Rule. "The entire system has collapsed in Bihar. The only option left is the imposition of President's Rule in the state," he told the reporters. Yadav alleged that Bihar is currently governed not by CM Nitish Kumar but by "the BJP and bureaucrats," adding, "There is nothing left in Bihar except for the fact that the politics of leaders go unhindered. " Leader of opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav echoed the concern. "The law and order situation has completely gone out of order in Bihar. Today itself, as many as five murders took place by 12 noon.
