"Applicants who do not find their names in the final draft NRC will get another opportunity by way of submission of claims for inclusion in the final NRC.

The Superintendent of Police urged people not to give in to any rumour or fake news regarding the issue. He stressed fair use of social media in this regard and requested them to inform police about any kind of misuse of the same.
