The family has alleged that Maniram died due to extreme work pressure caused by the SIR duty. His wife, Mamta Napit, said he had been under heavy stress for several days. He had to work late into the night filling forms and doing digitization work.
His son said officers did not give him any relief, even though he had repeatedly shared that he was under too much pressure.
Due to the slow online portal, he often had to work overnight, increasing the workload.
Maniram was the BLO for Booth No. 212, which has 676 registered voters. He had completed the digitisation work of 453 voters—around 67% of the total work.
The family has requested the government to provide support to the dependents of the deceased teacher. His last rites will be performed on Tuesday.
