Assam NRC: How to check if your name is there

Guwahati, July 30: The second draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is being published today. The final draft would be published at all the NRC Sewa Kendras across the state of Assam.

Applicants can check their names in the list which would include the name, address and photographs of the applicant.

The first draft was published in January and had names of 1.9 crore people out of the 3.29 crore total applicants in Assam recognising them as legal citizens of India. The rest of the names were under various stages of verification, causing anxiety and distress across the state for several months.

The NRC would include the names of all Indian citizens who have been residing in Assam before March 25 1971.
