The names included in this additional draft of are those which NRC published on July 30, 2018, but they were subsequently found to be ineligible for three substantial reasons.
“People found to be declared foreigners or doubtful (D) voters or with cases pending at Foreigners’ Tribunals discovered after publication of the draft NRC have been included in the additional list. So are their descendants, as applicable,” Assam State Government spokesperson has stated.
Others reasons for people’s names appearing in the Draft list are: ineligibility while appearing as witnesses in hearings held for disposal of claims and objections and absence during the process of verification carried out by the local registrars of citizen’s registration.
