The final phase of the exercise to update the NRC, to be published by July, involves claims and objections. The NRC centres received some 3 lakh objections, almost all of them on the final day – December 31, 2018 – of the claims and objections round. Some party leaders have also suffered due to the NRC objections. In central Assam’s Nagaon, objection was slapped on senior journalist and Nagaon Press Club member Najimuddin Ahmed. Two NRC officials in the district – Baharul Islam Majundar of Batadraba and Abdul Kasem Farazi of Nagaon – also received such notices.
