6 yrs on, NRC still incomplete; SC seeks Centre, Assam’s reply on plea

The Supreme Court has issued notices to the Centre and Assam government regarding the pending completion of the NRC update process. Petitioners Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind and Aamsu seek the issuance of identity cards to 3.11 crore included individuals and rejection orders for 19 lakh excluded people, enabling appeals. They argue the six-year delay renders the NRC an incomplete and unconstitutional exercise.
