The controversy over the locking of Aadhaar enrolment biometrics of Assam residents dates back to the National Register of Citizens (NRC) claims and objections process, during which the biometrics of residents were collected. Subsequently, these biometrics were locked by the Home Ministry and the Registrar General of India (RGI), effectively depriving around 2.6 million people of the opportunity to avail Aadhaar cards.^[1] This situation has led to significant social and economic implications for the affected individuals, who are unable to access various government services and benefits that require Aadhaar authentication.
