Anything that burns… Anything that burns contributes to air pollution. We should support cleaner alternatives. Replace coal grills and tandoors with electric ones. Replace thermal power plants with solar panels everywhere. Replace petrol and diesel with EVs.

Netanyahu asked UAE leader to deny Haaretz Oct. 7 warning report in secret visit haaretz.com/israel-news/isra…

BLO called me now. She asked me to come to the nearest school with documents. She said my name will be deleted if I don't make it by tomorrow. This is contrary to what CEC said in the press release. It read BLO would visit. Gyanesh has turned our great country into a circus

I have been told my name is “unmapped”on the voting list. I have voted in every election ever since I have been eligible to vote. I hold a passport, PAN Card, voter ID card, Aadhar card. I am now being asked to appear for a hearing else my name will be deleted. Why should I?!

What if all the by-elections could come together

Thanks to ECI and Supreme Court, voting rights are being taken away in the name of SIR: Dushyant Dave Read here: barandbench.com/news/thanks-… @DushyantADave

Arre sirf bye elections hi to hain… the casual attitude of the Supreme Court of India towards the right to vote in the world’s largest democracy should be a matter of concern to all those who care about democracy.

Looks like most SIR rejections, and not because of flaws in citizens’ paperwork, but flaws in the election commission’s opaque software. These guys are so incompetent, they can’t even implement their pet projects well. Zero accountability.

Faltu ka SIR dard #Headache

#BREAKING Supreme Court takes suo motu cognizance of recent cases of rape in Delhi-NCR, and sexual assault of a minor in a moving sleeper bus in Delhi. "One cannot help but draw painful parallels to Nirbhaya incident of 2012," the Court says.

#BREAKING Supreme Court declines to advance the hearing in the West Bengal SIR matter concerning over 18,000 appeals stated to be pending before the appellate authorities, despite a request for listing before the October 6 bypolls in Reginagar and Nandigram CJI Surya Kant remarks, “These are only by-elections, that’s all,” after counsel submitted that affected voters risked missing out on voting for a second time. The matter will remain listed on October 5.

RT @Apoorvanand__: We need to move to the courts on behalf of the BLOs for their rights.

Is ECI Correct In Saying Supreme Court Upheld Its New Form 6 Declaration? |@DebbyJain Did the Supreme Court's May 2026 judgment in #BiharSIR case examine the present Form 6 Declaration? #SupremeCourt #ElectionCommission #ECI livelaw.in/top-stories/is-ec…

About 30 people have filed applications to delete the names of hundreds of voters, mostly Muslim, in Bhalki constituency. @thenewsminute found that voters there had no idea that someone wants their names deleted. They have lived there their whole lives. thenewsminute.com/karnataka/…

At the heart of SIR controversy, ECI’s software for officers | What we know about ERONET ERONET processes enumeration forms and attempts to match a current elector with a corresponding entry in the base rolls hindustantimes.com/india-new…

A long post! The Election Commission never had the bandwidth or manpower to carry out such a gigantic clean up of the electoral rolls. It instead relied on an AI-powered application called ERONET. It uses AI to identify Photo Similar Entries (PSE) and Demographic Similar Entries (DSE) to flag potential mismatches between current voter rolls and legacy databases, like the 2002 base rolls. The software is essentially a black box, with little to no publicly available information about the AI models actually used in deployment. We do not know the model specs, similarity threshold used, its performance metrics, evaluation benchmarks, false positive rates, how it was trained or evaluated for Indian languages, whether it was developed indigenously or based on a known model/provider. We simply do not know enough. Anyone with even a basic understanding of AI will tell you that these systems are prone to hallucination errors, and out of distribution (OOD) problems. Even the best large language models, vision models, state-of-the-art OCR technology in the market still struggle to peform with perfect accuracy, particularly on non-Latin scripts. The 2002 electoral rolls were in native languages and scripts across different states, such as Kannada, Telugu and Bengali. Many AI systems continue to have substantially weaker performance on low-resource languages and scripts compared with English. For ex, a model trained on English will generalize poorly to a low resource language like Telegu or Odia. The old electoral rolls were not originally structured digital databases. They had to be digitised and processed, including through automated conversion into English in some workflows, before they could be compared against contemporary electoral data. Effectively, it creates multiple points where errors can enter the pipeline through scanning, OCR, transliteration, and finally the AI based matching itself. That means some level of rigorous human oversight is essential to keep such a system robust and control false positives. We do not know whether adequate human oversight was actually in place, or whether the entire workflow, from OCR and data extraction to AI based matching and automated notice generation, was effectively handed over to the system. The ECI needs to be completely transparent about how this entire workflow was carried out and make the relevant technical documentation, evaluation results, and human-verification procedures publicly available. There is also a major question around the system's access control and privilege architecture. We do not publicly know the role-based access control (RBAC) structure of ERONET, who has read/write access to the underlying electoral databases, whether EROs or other field level officials can directly modify records, what privileges are available at each administrative level. The Indian Express report seems to indicate that EROs, who have the statutory authority to add/ delete voters, were denied this privilege through the software. We also need to know whether there is a complete, immutable audit trail recording who accessed, modified, approved or deleted a record, when the action was performed, and what changes were made. Without this information, it is difficult to independently establish the chain of custody and accountability for changes made to electoral roll data.

Slapping a Gen-Z kid in front of a hundred cameras? Wow. Going to be a miracle if he keeps his job.

Same thing happened to me. I submitted my own 2002 SIR verification and they insist it’s my father’s. Had a tough time convincing them. Even my father’s election ID wasn’t enough.

SIR was allegedly done to send back Bangladeshis illegally staying in India. For this, 13 crore names have been removed from voters' list. Total population of Bangladesh is 18 crore.
