Guwahati: The government of Assam on Saturday published the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) list amid tight security arrangements across the state. The final NRC list can be checked at www.nrcassam.nic.in or www.assam.mygov.in. According to the Assam government officials, the list was released online around 10 AM at all NRC Seva Kendra (NSK) across the state. A total of 3,11,21,004 persons have been found eligible for inclusion in final NRC leaving out 19,06,657 persons, including those who did not submit their claims. Those not satisfied with the outcome can file an appeal before Foreigners Tribunals, said Prateek Hajela, State Coordinator, NRC.
The purpose of releasing the NRC list is to identify whether a person residing in Assam is actually an Indian or a foreigner.

Security was tightened across the state ahead of the publication of the NRC list. As a precautionary measure, fifty-one companies of the Central Armed Paramilitary Force (CAPF) had been deployed in various parts of the state. Section 144 of CrPC has been clamped in Dispur, where the state Secretariat and Assembly complexes are located. Prohibitory orders have been clamped in vulnerable areas like Bhangagarh, Basistha, Hatigaon, Sonapur and Khetri. Prohibitory orders are already in place in Dispur since August 28 and will stay until further notice.
The publication of the final NRC list - a sensitive political issue - is likely to stir up a huge gamut of reactions involving a large number of stakeholders. Barring AASU, all major political parties, including Congress and AIUDF, have expressed fear that names of many genuine Indian citizens might be left out while those of the illegal foreigners may be included.
Keeping in view the far-reaching implications of the move, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal has called upon the people of the state to maintain peace and tranquillity.
Ahead of the publication of the NRC list, the Ministry of Home Affairs has also urged people not to believe in rumours.

The Centre has already extended the time period for appeal in Foreigners Tribunal from 60 days to 120 days. The Supreme Court had last month rejected the Centre and Assam governments' plea for sample re-verification to find out wrongful inclusions or exclusion of names in the NRC.
In the final draft, published in July last year, of the 3.29 crore registered names, as many as 40,07,707 applicants found their names excluded.
