Assam has initiated a process to purge forged entries from the updated National Register of Citizens (NRC). Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday declared that the government never considered the updated NRC final. Officials involved in updating the NRC compromised its sanctity for personal gratification. The state government has sought expert advice on the purge process. Sarma urged the Assamese people not to sell land to suspected foreigners to protect their culture and identity.
