Impending NRC caused rush for Aadhaar updates

A nationalised bank was ransacked at Harishchandrapur on Monday by people who gathered for corrections in their Aadhaar cards after they were allegedly told that not more than 50 applications could be processed a day. The scramble for the Aadhaar correction has been attributed to the fear of an impending NRC in Bengal. Although officials of the Union Bank of India on Bhaluka Road branch escaped unhurt, the building’s exterior and the ATM counter were damaged. On Monday morning, over 5,000 people had gathered in front of the bank where the process of amending particulars in Aadhaar was going on.
