The Assam government will not allow anyone to take the law into own hands and ensure the peace in the state is not disturbed, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today said, ahead of the publication of the final draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
After a meeting with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, the chief minister said the final draft of the NRC, a list of Assam's citizens, consisting of names of all eligible applicants will be published on July 30.
"Applicants who do not find their names in the complete NRC need not be apprehensive as they will be given adequate opportunity to prove their eligibility for inclusion in the final NRC," he told reporters here.
Sonowal said the state government will ensure that law and order is maintained and no one will be allowed to take law into own hands. "All possible arrangements are being made to ensure safety and security for all."
