Guwahati: The Registrar General of India (RGI) has turned down a request of the Assam government to continue financial support for completing pending work of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) beyond March 31 this year.
Taking strong exception to the “inordinate delay” in completion of the entire exercise, the office of the RGI in a letter suggested to the state government to terminate the services of “surplus staff” and hand over the workload to government staff, besides shift the NRC office to a government building.
In a letter on March 4, the Assam government had sought an additional Rs 3.22 crore per month beyond March 31 for completion of the pending NRC activities in addition to the allocated Rs 1,602.66 crore for the entire project.
