Some names not in draft NRC as verification process is still

Some people's names may not have appeared in the first draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam as the verification process of the documents submitted by applicants is still on, a top Kamrup (Metropolitan) district official said today.
Applicants who dont find their names in the part publication of draft NRC should not have any fears and apprehension as their verification is under progress which will be completed soon, Kamrup (Metropolitan) district deputy commissioner M Angamuthu told reporters here.
"In this part draft NRC, some people's name may not appear which is subject to completion of verification process," he said.
