Assam NRC

The Centre Tuesday told the Supreme Court that 938 people are detained in six detention centres in Assam and 823 of them have been declared as foreigners by tribunals.

The Supreme Court Tuesday came down heavily on the Centre over the Assam NRC process and said it is hell bent on not allowing the work to continue. CJI Gogoi said the Centre is not cooperating in the NRC process and it seems the entire effort of the MHA is to destroy the NRC process.

The Supreme Court made it clear that the exercise of making the final report of NRC in Assam has to be completed by the July 31, 2019 deadline and said that the upcoming general election and exercise of NRC should not be affected.
