Additional 1 Lakh Excluded From Assam Citizen List Ahead Of July Deadline | Read
Over one lakh people more have been excluded from the draft National Register of Citizens or NRC in Assam. The additional draft exclusion list published today names 1.02 lakh people whose names figured in the draft citizens' list that was released in July last year. These names were subsequently found ineligible for inclusion. The Assam citizens' list is being updated for the first time since 1951 to account for illegal migration into Assam from neighbouring Bangladesh.
