The people of Assam who had applied for inclusion in the updated citizens’ registry when the exercise began five years ago. The National Register of Citizens (NRC) authority on Saturday published the individual status of all the 3.3 crore people. The list – which has the names of those who have been accepted as citizens, those who have been rejected and those whose appeals are pending – was uploaded on the official NRC site less than a fortnight after 19.07 lakh people were excluded from the final NRC released on August 31.
NRC State Coordinator Prateek Hajela had in a statement explained the difference between the final NRC lists released 14 days apart.
“Whereas the final NRC publication on August 31, 2019, consisted only of supplementary lists, queries were received about publication of results of all members of a family irrespective of their involvement in the Claims and Objections process. The results for the complete family will be available only for display online,” he said a few days ago.
“Queries were also received from the public about the issue of certified copies of rejection from final NRC… The process of collection of the orders passed by the NRC officers is being carried out to enable early availability of the same to the public to file appeals,” he added.
