More than nine‑tenths of Special Investigation Report hearings have been concluded across Meghalaya, and Block Level Officers are set to visit households to gather the necessary paperwork.
The Shillong Times reports that over 90 percent of the scheduled Special Investigation Report (SIR) hearings in Meghalaya have now been completed. The hearings, part of a broader effort to streamline land and voter‑registration records, were conducted over the past weeks in various districts.
Following the hearing phase, Block Level Officers (BLOs) have been instructed to commence door‑to‑door visits to collect the required documents from residents. This step aims to finalize the verification process and update official records without further delay.
State officials said the field visits will begin early next week and will focus on households that were unable to submit paperwork during the hearings. The initiative is expected to improve the accuracy of the state’s land and electoral rolls, benefitting both citizens and administrative bodies.
The Meghalaya administration has emphasized that the process will be carried out transparently, with BLOs providing assistance and clarification to residents as needed. Completion of the document‑collection drive is slated for the end of the month.
The move reflects the state’s ongoing commitment to strengthen governance mechanisms and ensure that public records are current and reliable.
