Guwahati:
The Gauhati High Court has been informed that the Assam National Register of Citizens may have included up to 2.77 lakh undeserving names due to poor quality check and control.
The NRC authorities arrived at this estimate based on the deletion of over a lakh names following the verification of a mere 27% of the draft NRC, according to an affidavit submitted by Assam s NRC co-ordinator, Hitesh Dev Sarma. This leaves grounds to conclude that the rest of the NRC could have many more ineligible names, it said.
