Centre Tells Supreme Court NRC Rejection Slips for 19 Lakh Excluded Pending Notification
The Centre informed the Supreme Court that issuing rejection slips to 19.07 lakh people excluded from Assam's National Register of Citizens (NRC) has not started because the final NRC is yet to be formally notified. The Registrar General of India stated the state NRC coordinator is still establishing a security regime for preserving NRC data, which has delayed data transfer. The Supreme Court deferred the matter to November 6 after the Assam government requested more time to respond to petitions seeking rejection slips and NRC cards.
