Guwahati: Bihar is yet to verify a single of the over 47,000 documents sent by Assam despite a Supreme Court directive issued three months ago to all states to expedite the verification process for updating the National Register of Citizens in Assam.
"There is zero response from Bihar where a total of 47,423 documents were sent for verification," an official source said.
He said a Supreme Court bench of Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman had, on October 26, 2016, directed the chief secretaries of 28 states, including Bihar, to immediately respond in respect of the documents pertaining to verification for NRC update in Assam. The Registrar-General of India had also asked all the states to cooperate in the NRC update.
