Saruharid village of Barpeta district is known as the Fauji Gaon (Village of defence personnel) in the locality. Almost 200 families live here out of which over 20 Jawans have posted in Indian Army and paramilitary forces. Ironically, many such jawans are facing an identity crisis as their names didn't appear in the final NRC list which was published on August 31. The village is now dwelling under the shadow of great grief.

Family of Dilbar Hussain is in such league. He along with his younger brother Mizanur Ali have been declared not eligible for Indian Citizenship as per final NRC list. His elder brother Saidul Islam is a serving Subedar in Indian Army who has fought in Kargil war. Dilbar himself is in the Indian Army while Mizanur Ali is posted with CISF. Luckily Subedar Saidul Islam cleared the list.
