The CM further said that if a person needs an Aadhaar card even after the last date of application has passed, then in that case the District Commissioner (DC) will have the special right to issue Aadhaar. However, this will happen only in very rare cases and for this it will be mandatory for the district administration to study the report of the Special Branch and the Foreigners Tribunal.

The objective is to stop illegal infiltration

The Chief Minister clarified that the main objective of this step is to prevent illegal intruders from obtaining Aadhar cards in the state. He said that citizens coming especially from Bangladesh often use Aadhar cards to falsely claim Indian citizenship. The government intends to completely close this path, so that no illegal foreigner can claim citizenship by getting an Aadhar card made in Assam.
