Karnataka govt drops NRC plan to create citizen database

News Network

Bengaluru, Oct 20: The Karnataka government has put the Assam-like National Register of Citizens (NRC) proposal on the backburner and decided to narrow down its exercise to creating a database of immigrants without documents and foreign nationals overstaying their visa.

The dilution in the exercise move comes a fortnight after Karnataka home minister Basavaraj Bommai announced the NRC would soon be introduced in the state. He had said this was part of the Centre’s plan to extend the NRC across the country to identify and weed out illegal immigrants.

The change in stance is also partly due to practical difficulties in preparing and maintaining a registry of that magnitude.

Basavaraj Bommai said, “We’ll not introduce an Assam-like NRC.
However, we are considering compiling details of citizens that must help the government in tracking down illegal and overstaying foreign nationals.”

Labhu Ram, an officer with the Foreigners’ Regional Registration Office, said about 800 foreign nationals have been overstaying in Karnataka.
