BOMDILA : A hands-on training programme on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR)-2026 of electoral rolls for Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) was conducted at the Deputy Commissioner’s Conference Hall in Bomdila on Wednesday.

The programme was chaired by West Kameng District Election Officer Dr Dilip Kumar, who highlighted the objectives of SIR-2026 and underscored the importance of maintaining an accurate and inclusive electoral roll.
