PARISANGH TAKES UP NRC PROBLEM IN ASSAM WITH REGISTRAR GENERAL OF INDIA IN DELHI.
ShrI Nityanand Upadhyay (BGP Assam state president & member of Joint Action Committee on NRC), Shri Guman Limbu (Convenor, BGP Delhi), and Dr Munish Tamang (BGP National Vice-President) met the Additional Registrar General of India at the RGI office in New Delhi on Friday, July 1, 2016.
They presented a detailed case on the problem faced by Gorkhas, particularly those in Jagun area under Margherita Constituency in Tinsukia, Assam.
The authorities have failed to provide legacy data to people of this area thus seriously compromising their status in the ongoing National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise in Assam.
They had a detailed discussion and have been assured that immediate attention will be given to this important issue. The BGP delegation was also assured that the matter would be placed before the Supreme Court-appointed Judges Committee and also before Shri Hajela, the Supreme Court-appointed coordinator for NRC.
A memorandum jointly signed by Shri Nityanand Upadhyay and Shri D B Chhetry, IAS (retd), chief coordinator, Gorkha Joint Acton Committee on NRC, was submitted to the government officer.
