GUWAHATI: Assam will begin Aadhaar registration, which it earlier suspended fearing the misuse of UID cards by means of migrants looking for position within the National Register of Citizens (NRC), in February.
The decision to restore the Aadhaar pressure comes two days after the first draft of the updated NRC, that declared 1.9 crore of the three.29 crore candidates as bona fide Indians.
"There were many objections from the people and the All Assam Students' Union (which had spearheaded the anti-foreigner movement in the state) to starting the Aadhaar registration process in the state before the NRC was updated," chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal instructed TOI. "People felt there were many illegal migrants within the state and if they got an Aadhaar number, they would get started making the most of executive benefits.
It used to be handiest after the federal government clarified that Aadhaar has not anything to do with citizenship that the confusion used to be cleared," he added. The process for Aadhaar registration would have began from January 1, however an order from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) issuing body cancelled the authority of all personal companies who had been empanelled to carry out biometric enrolment, a state executive reliable within the basic administration division — entrusted with the Aadhaar registration process — stated. "We have now empanelled deputy commissioners of all districts as the enrolment authority and biometric registration will be done only at 1,200 identified centres within premises of different government offices. Each centre will have a government officer to do the verification," the reliable stated.

With 1.39 crore candidates in Assam yet to be cleared by means of the Registrar General of India as electorate and verification of paperwork supporting their declare yet to be completed, there are road blocks forward. In all likelihood, their names might not be enrolled under Aadhaar except they have got been cleared by means of the NRC government.
