The Office of the State NRC Coordinator has instructed district administrations to include the names of Doubtful voters (D-voters) in the NRC list if their names are cleared by foreigners’ tribunal.
D- Voters are barred from contesting elections and exercising their voting rights in the state.
Official sources said that D- voters have to submit the verdict of the foreigner tribunal to get their names included in the NRC list.
The names of 40 lakh people were not included in the NRC draft list published in July last year in the state.
At present, the hearing of claims and objections related to the NRC is going on.
NRC is being implemented in Assam under the supervision of the Supreme Court to detect illegal citizens.
