Amid the Centre mulling to create a National Register of Citizens for the entire country, the Barabanki Nagar Palika has begun checking citizenship of people living in slums in and around Barabanki city.
Barabanki Nagar Palika chairperson Shashi Srivastava's representative Ranjeet Bahadur Srivastava, said, "There is a doubt about the people living since recently in slums that they could be Bangladeshis or Rohingyas.
"A team of Nagar Palika is also gathering information as to which place they actually belong to. For how many years they have been living here. The team will prepare a report, and send it to the administration."
