The final list of the National Register of Citizen (NRC) in Assam is set to be published at 10 am on Saturday. Lakhs of people await their fate as the list will segregate Indian citizens living in Assam from those who had illegally migrated to the state from Bangladesh after 1971.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), however, clarified that non-inclusion of an individual’s name in the NRC will not amount to his or her being declared a "foreigner".
