The "complete draft" of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) was published on Monday featuring 2.9 crore names out of the total 3.29 crore applicants in Assam. The names of 40.07 lakh applicants, however, did not find a place in the historic document.
The NRC draft was published online by the Registrar General of India. The first list of the NRC process was released on December 31 last year, in which around 1.9 crore people out of the total applications of 3.29 crore people were included. Assam is the first Indian state where the NRC is being updated after 1951, with March 24, 1971 as the cut-off date, to include names of genuine Indian citizens.
