The office of the National Register of Citizens State Coordinator is scheduled to publish an ‘additional exclusion list’ on Wednesday containing the names of those who figured in the complete draft published on July 30, 2018, but were later found “ineligible for inclusion”.
This, rights activists said, could fatten the list of NRC-excluded people, who currently number 40.07 lakh. The Association of Citizens’ Rights said many people included in the draft NRC cannot be assured of their citizenship status until they don’t find their names in the additional list.
People marked as D-voter, and those declared foreigners by Foreigners’ Tribunals and their families would also figure in the additional list.
