BLO Found Hanging, Family Blames SIR Work Pressure
A man named Hamimul Islam, who was a teacher and a BLO, was found hanging in his school.
His family says he was very stressed because of his work.
The police are trying to find out what happened.
The family thinks he was under too much pressure from his jobs, especially with something called SIR tasks.
The police are investigating to understand more.
This is the eighth such incident since the SIR process started.
A local politician visited the family and also blamed the Election Commission for rushing the SIR process, which he said caused too much work for BLOs like Hamimul.
Hamimul Islam, a 47-year-old primary school teacher and BLO, was found hanging inside his school.
The incident was discovered late Saturday night in the Paikmari Char area.
Family members alleged that Hamimul was under severe stress due to his dual responsibilities and SIR-related tasks.
The police have recovered the body and are investigating the incident.
This is the eighth BLO death in West Bengal since the SIR process began on November 4.
