NRC Assam: How to check Assam NRC Final Draft List 2018

The final draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC), which was published on 30 July, with 2.9 crores names out of total 3.29 applicants in Assam. The first draft of the NRC list, which was released on December 31, last year had around 1.9 crores names are out of the total applications. The NRC authority has not revealed the reason for rejection and citing protection of the individual’s privacy. It just mentioned in two categories of people, who could not make it to the complete draft as ‘on hold’ and ‘rejected’.

There are 2.48 lakhs of people in the first category, who were declared foreigners by the tribunal and some marked as ‘D’ (doubtful) voter. The applications of the remaining 3.8 million people have been rejected without disclosing the reason.

The authority said that those excluded from the complete list would be given a fair chance to re-apply within the window of ‘claim and objection’ — a period of one month. The ground reports suggest that those excluded from the list are mostly illiterate people living in rural areas. However, there are also some educated, well-connected people who have been excluded.

The state government has beefed up security across the state and has requested the citizens to not believe in any rumours. A prohibitory order under Section 144 of CrPC has been imposed in seven districts of Assam.
