<h1>Assam introduces stricter Aadhaar verification rules requiring District Commissioner approval to prevent illegal immigration</h1> The Assam government plans to implement stricter Aadhaar card issuance rules for adults to prevent illegal immigration from Bangladesh. The Chief Minister announced that new Aadhaar applications will require thorough verification, with only District Commissioners authorized to approve issuance. Since nearly 100% of adults already possess Aadhaar cards, the enhanced scrutiny will target new applicants. The state recently deported 20 individuals as part of ongoing anti-infiltration efforts. The Cabinet also approved land allotments under a government scheme for religious and educational institutions, reserved seats in local governance bodies for women and marginalized communities, and amended autonomous council provisions for specific ethnic communities.
