✦AI Summary
Civil society groups in Maharashtra have requested a two-month extension for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) schedule, citing haphazard enumeration, practical difficulties for Booth Level Officers (BLOs), and slow digitization of forms. They highlighted that only 22% of forms statewide and 4% in Mumbai have been digitized by mid-July, making the 30-day period insufficient.
