Indian authorities are set to release the final draft list of citizens in the state of Assam with citizens fearing tens of thousands of Bengali-origin Muslims will be excluded.
The updating of the National Register of Citizens is part of a campaign to identify undocumented immigrants from Bangladesh.
Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal says Indian citizens whose names are not included in the list will get adequate opportunities to file claims and objections pertaining to their rights.
