Assam NRC coordinator Hitesh Dev Sarma has submitted before the High Court of Gauhati that the published list of Indian citizens living in the state contains names of over 4,000 ineligible people & indicated that the number of such “undeserving” people could be as high as 2.7 lakh.
Sarma also submitted that all the “anomalies” have been reported to the Registrar General of India in Feb 2020 seeking necessary directions for “corrective measures” in the interest of an error-free NRC. But the central authority issued instructions to go ahead with the next step that gives one more chance to the excluded people to stake claim.

Sarma submitted the affidavit following directive from a divisional Bench of Justice Manojit Bhuyan & Justice Soumitra Saikia to bring on record whether inroads into the NRC may have been created by individuals who are “undeserving” & “not legally” entitled to be included in the register. The Centre & State Govt are contemplating to re-submit pleas in the Supreme Court, seeking at least 10-20 per cent sample re-verification of the NRC data.
