Hours after the Assam Government published the final NRC draft including the names of over 2.89 crore people out of the total 3.29-plus applicants, the Central Government has directed the government of Assam to complete the update process by Dec 31 this year.
The office of the Registrar General of India under the Ministry of Home Affairs, through a gazette notification, has set Dec 31 this year as the deadline for updating and publishing the final citizens’ register.
