Kanniyakumari Collector M. Aravind has introduced online token system for fixing appointment for applying for new Aadhaar or making corrections in the Aadhar card to avoid crowding in these centres even as the COVID-19 protocol is in place. This system is applicable only for the Aadhar centres in Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable Television Corporation offices functioning in the taluk offices from July 19. Those who do not get the online token may go to the Aadhar centers functioning in the Collectorate, Corporation Office, Head Post Offices and other places with relevant documents to apply for new Aadhar card or make corrections in the existing card. According to Mr. Aravind, the public, who were applying for new cards or corrections in cards were getting the tokens from the computer operators of the designated Aadhaar centres and each centre was handling up to 35 applicants a day. However, the public were gathering in large number right from early morning to get the tokens even as the COVID-19 restrictions were in force. Whenever the crowd waiting to get the tokens beyond the centre’s handling capacity, tokens had to be given for a few days to avert excess crowding.
