The United Naga Council, an apex body of Nagas in Manipur, has asked the State government to immediately start the exercise to update the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
The BJP-led government in the State headed by Nongthombam Biren Singh has been seeking the Centre’s nod for undertaking the updating exercise like Assam, where 19.06 lakh out of 3.3 crore applicants were left out of the complete draft for the lack of documents to prove their citizenship.
