Names of all NRC applicants published online

Names of all the 3.30 crore applicants have been published online. The final National Register of Citizens, which was published on August 31, consisted only of supplementary lists.

Guwahati: The names of all NRC applicants have been published online on Saturday, the office of the NRC State Coordinator said here.

The names of all the 3.30 crore applicants as per draft NRC and supplementary list of inclusions and exclusions (final NRC) have been published. But the NRC Authority has failed to provide the District wise data of Excluded Peoples from the NRC.

If the NRC authority does not provide the Data of Excluded people from the NRC, the Home Ministry is expected to move to the Supreme Court.

"Names of all the members of a family irrespective of their involvement in the claims and objections process have been published on Saturday," an official said.

The NRC State Coordinator's office had earlier announced that the details for a complete family would be available only online.

The final NRC was released on August 31 with 19,06,657 of the total 3,30,27,661 applicants excluded and 3,11,22,004 included.

On the other hand, Assam government has decided to increase the number of Foreigners Tribunals under the provisions of the Foreigners Act to 1,000 in phased manner to expedite the cases relating to suspected foreign nationals.

The Home Ministry of Assam has already appointed officials for the extra Foreigners Tribunals.

Meanwhile, as per the Supreme Court's direction the people whose names were excluded from the NRC list will have 120 days extra to claim it in Foreigners Tribunal.
