Imphal, January 10 2018:
Although numerous Aadhaar enrolment drives were launched under the supervision of the State Government, the enrolment percentage at the hill districts remains at around 70 percent.
According to a reliable source, the Aadhaar enrolment drive which wrapped up on December 31 last year failed to enrol more than 60 to 70 percent of the total population of the hill districts due to low turnout.
The source pointed out that the low Aadhaar enrolment numbers has raised concern regarding the discrepancies between the population of the hill districts as per the 2011 survey and the number of people coming for the Aadhaar enrolment.
For the valley districts, the Aadhaar enrolment is more than 90 percent, the source added, pointing out that the total Aadhaar enrolment percentage of the State is around 80 percent.
