Deadline for National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam extended till July 31
- The Centre has given one-month extension to complete the enumeration process for updating the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam by July 31.
- The National Register of Citizens (NRC) for the state of Assam has been taken as the exercise to enumerate citizens in Assam. The exercise aims at identifying illegal immigrants in the state of Assam that borders Bangladesh.
- When the draft NRC was published on July 30 last year, there was a huge controversy over the exclusion of 4 million people from it. The draft NRC included the names of 29 million people out of the total 32.9 million applications. The names of over a lakh more people were also excluded in a list published last month.
Points to remember:
- The NRC is been done in which state?
