Guwahati: An Indian Air Force (IAF) veteran has been excluded from the final updated National Register of Citizens (NRC) released on Saturday even as his entire family managed to make it to the list.
Honorary flight lieutenant (retired) Chabindra Sarma from Biswanath Chariali in Assam failed to include himself in the list despite using the same Legacy Data that his parents and children registered with.
Over 19 lakh people have been excluded from the final NRC and over 3 crore have been found eligible for inclusion. “It is my bad luck,” said the 57-year-old ex-serviceman, still finding it difficult to believe how he could fail the citizenship test.
