In Shankhamedi village of Balasore district, Odisha, residents boycotted the SIR survey conducted by the Odisha government. Due to long-standing negligence regarding caste certificates and basic facilities, villagers claim they have already enrolled in West Bengal's survey. The local BLO had to return due to the protest. The village is situated on the border, and residents possess voter and Aadhaar cards from both Odisha and West Bengal. The Tehsildar has called for a meeting to address this jurisdictional and administrative conflict. https://sambad.in/state/sir-controversy-in-shankhamedi-12115310 #creator program
