Assam has published a fresh exclusion list on Wednesday, adding an additional 1 lakh names to be excluded from the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

An additional exclusion list comprising the names of 1,02,462 persons to the draft National Register of Citizens (NRC) was published in Assam on Wednesday.

These 1 lakh names have been excluded from the register of citizens as they have been found to be ineligible for inclusion in the final draft of the NRC list.

People whose names have been excluded from the additional list will be informed individually through Letters of Information (LoI) that will be delivered to them at their residential addresses. These people will have the opportunity to file their claims at the designated NRC Seva Kendras (NSKs) till July 11.
