Family members alleged that mounting work pressure, coupled with the discovery of his own name on &#8220;under adjudication&#8221; list and persistent harassment from affected voters, led to a fatal heart attack.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>Tahir was a resident of the Anwar Bagan area under ward number 7 of Kamarhati Municipality. He served as the BLO for booth 69 and held supervisory responsibility for booths 57 to 64.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>His family and neighbours said, Tahir repeatedly spoke about the intense workload during the revision process.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>When the final electoral roll under the SIR was published on Saturday, Tahir&#8217;s own name reportedly appeared as &#8220;under adjudication&#8221;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>&#8220;At the same time, several voters whose names were marked \u2018deleted&#8217; or \u2018under adjudication&#8217; began contacting him for clarification and assistance. He was under severe mental stress following the publication of the list,&#8221; a family member said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Family sources said that around 3.30 pm on Sunday, Tahir sat outside his house when he suddenly complained of discomfort and collapsed. He suffered a heart attack and died on the spot. He was rushed to a private hospital in Belgharia, where he was declared brought dead.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>His neighbour, Nizamuddin, said: &#8220;Tahir was handling his duties as a BLO and also supervising multiple booths. Between the pressure from EC and voters, how much can one person endure?&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/kolkata\/blo-under-adjudication-dies-kin-blame-sir-pressure\/articleshow\/128926070.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KOLKATA: Another booth level officer (BLO), Mohammad Tahir (50), died of heart attack on Sunday&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3814,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[10547,10548,10550,6667,6666,6668,6669,950,10549,6670],"class_list":["post-3813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-blo","tag-election","tag-kamarhati","tag-kolkata-latest-news","tag-kolkata-news","tag-kolkata-news-live","tag-kolkata-news-today","tag-sir","tag-tahir","tag-today-news-kolkata"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
