A forum in Karnataka has asked the state government to extend the caste enumeration under the Socio-Economic and Educational Survey (SIR) until September 30. The alliance also urged the government to set up helpdesks at every panchayat and ward to distribute caste and permanent residence certificates, ensuring no genuine voter loses their voting right due to missing documents. The Deccan Herald reports the forum wants the extension to verify details submitted by Assistant Statistical District Development Officers. The move aims to address concerns over incomplete or incorrect data collection during the ongoing survey.
