NRC application proof must for Aadhaar in Assam, says CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam’s Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma declared that starting October 1, new Aadhaar card applicants must submit their National Register of Citizens (NRC) application receipt number. This initiative aims to control illegal immigration. Exceptions apply to those with locked biometrics during the NRC process and residents in tea garden areas due to practical difficulties.
