'No NRC Application Number, No Aadhaar': Himanta Sarma's Big Warning

A detailed standard operating procedure (SOP) will be prepared for the purpose and this will be implemented from October 1, Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

All new applicants for Aadhaar cards in Assam need to submit their NRC application receipt number (ARN), Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday.

A detailed standard operating procedure (SOP) will be prepared for the purpose and this will be implemented from October 1, he said.

The submission of the application receipt number of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) will stop the "influx of illegal foreigners" and the state government will be ''very strict" in issuing Aadhaar cards, he said.
