NRC list out, Assam CM Sonowal appeals to maintain peace

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal appealed to maintain peace as the final and updated National Register of Citizens (NRC) was released. The final list, published on Saturday, excluded over 1.9 million people from the list and included 3.11 crore people. Names of four million of the 32.9 million applicants were missing from the complete draft NRC released in July 2018. Another list released this June excluded names of 100,000 more. While most who were left out filed claims for inclusion, nearly 380,000 didn't.
