In a significant move to curb illegal immigration, the Assam government has officially paused the issuance of fresh Aadhaar cards for adults aged 18 and above. Individuals applying for a new identification card will now have to undergo a rigorous special verification process before final approval. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma highlighted that this strict measure is necessary to prevent undocumented migrants from obtaining official state identification.
The government aims to streamline citizenship verification while ensuring that genuine Indian residents face minimal inconvenience during this newly implemented, heightened security protocol.
