No Aadhaar card to persons who did not apply for NRC: Assam govt

The Assam cabinet approved a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Aadhaar card enrolment, requiring applicants to submit their NRC application receipt number. This measure aims to prevent suspected foreign nationals from obtaining Aadhaar cards and strengthens the verification process. Certain districts exhibited Aadhaar cardholder numbers exceeding their populations, prompting this stricter verification process.
