The Union Home Secretary, Ajay Kumar Bhalla, handed over the first set of citizenship certificates to eligible applicants under the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules 2024, on Wednesday, nearly two months after rules under the contentious law were notified to grant Indian nationality to persecuted nonMuslim migrants from three neighbouring countries.
Sources said 14 people were handed over the certificates symbolically at a special function held here while digitally signed certificates are also being sent to a "few hundred" other applicants through email.
The ceremony occurred in New Delhi, where several senior government officials, including Secretary Posts, Director (IB), and Registrar General of India, were present to mark the occasion.
