Three official Gujarat websites have been found flouting Aadhaar Act and publicly disclosing Aadhaar numbers of beneficiaries on their websites. Deputy chief minister Nitin Patel, on Sunday, said he was unaware of the issue. The lapse by the Gujarat government websites was recently revealed by the ministry of electronics and information technology.
The three errant websites are that of Gujarat government, Director of Developing Caste Welfare of the state and Gujarat University. In these, lists of beneficiaries along with their names, addresses and Aadhaar details have been displayed publicly. Around 200 websites across the country were found publicly displaying Aadhaar details of individuals and were asked to remove such data from public view.
