No Special Intensive Revision in Assam; EC Orders Special Revision Due to NRC — Know the Difference Between SIR and SR

Guwahati: Ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has ordered a Special Revision (SR) of Assam’s electoral rolls. The Commission clarified that this exercise must not be confused with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), which is conducted in exceptional circumstances requiring voters to furnish documents for eligibility verification. In Assam’s case, the EC has avoided SIR due to the state's unique citizenship framework and the ongoing Supreme Court-monitored National Register of Citizens (NRC) proceedings. What Makes SR Different from SIR? The Special Revision ordered in Assam will require mandatory house-to-house (H2H) verification, but unlike SIR, no voter will be asked to produce documents to prove eligibility.

Ukraine–France Seal Mega Fighter Jet Deal That Once Crushed Pakistan

** New Delhi: Ukraine has finalized a landmark agreement with France to purchase 100 Dassault Rafale F4 multirole fighter jets over the next decade—one of the largest defense aviation deals in Europe’s recent history.

Nitish Kumar’s Resignation Triggers Power Play: Who Will Be the Next Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar

? Patna: Moments after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar submitted his resignation following the Bihar Cabinet meeting, a new political battle began—who will occupy the Deputy Chief Minister’s chair? With the NDA crossing the 200-seat mark in the 2025 Assembly elections, the chief ministerial question has been sealed.

Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar have relied heavily on women voters as their political trump card. A final decision is expected around 19 November, but ...
