On Thursday, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has urged people across the country to not believe rumours about the final publication of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam on August 31. The Ministry reminded people that the non-inclusion of a person's name in NRC does not mean that he or she will be declared as a foreigner.

DO NOT BELIEVE RUMOURS ABOUT NRC.

Non-inclusion of a person's name in NRC does NOT amount to his/her being declared a foreigner.

Every individual left out from final NRC can can appeal to Foreigners Tribunals, an increased number of which are being established. pic.twitter.com/8pzNlFV5Ok
