Exception for tea garden workers on issuance of Aadhaar Cards: CM Sarma
The Daily Guardian
|June 30, 2025
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday announced an exception for tea garden workers in the state's new Aadhaar card issuance policy, aiming to address the challenges faced by this community while maintaining stringent measures against illegal immigration.
-
Speaking during a review visit to the Rang Ghar beautification project in Sivasagar, Sarma detailed the policy, which requires adult applicants to obtain Aadhaar cards only after satisfying the District Commissioner, except for tea garden workers, among whom nearly 50,000 adults are yet to be enrolled.
"Almost the entire adult population has obtained an Aadhaar Card. So, if any adult population in Assam requests an Aadhaar Card now, it raises questions."
