On what basis has the BMC issued an NOC to the hospital? There are more beds than the capacity of the rooms and there is a shortage of space for patients in the hospital.

Mumbai: After Mumbai Bihar, Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Raees Sheikh has written to the Election Commission demanding a SIR review survey after the local body and BMC elections, saying that if SIR is implemented in the state before the BMC and local body elections, there is a fear that voters will be affected. If the work of revising the voter lists is done during the state local body elections, then there will be no opportunity for political parties and workers to prepare for the elections. As a result, fearing that a large number of voters’ names will be deleted, Samajwadi Party’s ‘Bhiwandi East’ MLA Raees Sheikh has demanded that this program be organized after the elections are over, i.e. in February. MLA Sheikh has written a letter to the Commission in this regard. Giving information about this, MLA Raees Sheikh said that the Central Election Commission has sent a letter to the Chief Electoral Officers of all states and Union Territories on September 25, 2025 regarding the Voter List Revision (SIR) program. There are Supreme Court orders to hold local body elections in Maharashtra by January 31, 2026. Due to this, the administration is busy and there is a shortage of manpower for revision and political parties are planning election campaigns. MLA Raees Sheikh further said that if Special Revision (SIR) of Voter Lists is done in Maharashtra during this period, then the workers and political parties will not be able to focus on each other. This program (SIR) held in Bihar affected 56% of the voters. 25% of the migrants are in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) area and 5.5% in the rest of Maharashtra. Only 46% of voters in the state have a birth certificate and 94% of voters have Aadhaar. As a result, if the SIR is taken up during the election period, it may affect the migrant, Dalit, minority, tribal voters. A large number of voters’ names may be deleted. Therefore, the work of in-depth revision of the electoral rolls (SIR) should be started after the local body elections i.e. after February 2026, before which a meeting of all political parties should be called in this regard. MLA Raees Sheikh said that a letter has been sent to the Chief Commissioner of the Central Election Commission Dinesh Kumar demanding the presentation of this (SIR) program.
