Hyderabad, Jun 16 (PTI) Cautioning against taking SIR lightly, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday suggested to the ruling Congress leaders to monitor the exercise at the booth-level.

Reddy, who attended a video conference organised by the state Congress, said the voters lists for the 2028 Assembly elections would be finalised in October, 2026.

Observing that nothing much can be done if voters names are removed during the exercise, he said key leaders should be in touch with Booth Level Officers in every village and every booth in the 119 assembly constituencies.

The ministers incharge for districts should review the exercise before June 20 with the party incharges of assembly and parliamentary constituencies, a Congress release said.

The party incharges for assembly and parlimentary constituencies should monitor the SIR in their jurisdiction, he said.

He further suggested setting up a war room in the state Congress headquarters here to conduct booth-level monitoring and obtain daily reports.

The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls will be conducted in Telangana from June 15. The preparation of the electoral roll would be held from June 15 to 24, while house-to-house verification would be taken up from June 25 to July 24.

AICC incharge of party affairs in Telangana, Meenakshi Natarajan, spoke about the SIR held in West Bengal and asked every Congress activist to be cautious.
