On biometric challenges, he said the board had planned to ensure that by 2020 the issues of biometric problems in the course of registration would be over. “In 2018, we have about 24,490 biometric challenges but we have been able to bring this down to 22 in 2019; but if we are able to stand on our ground by 2020, we will not have any biometric challenges,” he said.
