Since October, people will not receive Aadhaar cards in Assam for the first time 18 years ago, said the main minister of Hisant Bisw Sarma after a cabinet meeting on Thursday (August 21, 2025).
He said that the cabinet approved a notice of revised standard operational procedure as a preliminary measure to remove or reduce chances of illegal immigrants, namely from Bangladesh, and received Aadhaar cards in an effort to obtain Indian citizenship.
However, this rule will be released for the planned caste and planned tribal people and tea garden staff for the year from the implementation of the announcement from the first week of October.

“We have been capturing Bangladesh nationals continuously for more than a year, with seven of them yesterday (August 20, 2025). We are not sure if we succeeded 100% in catching such people, but we want no one to enter Assam with the Aadhaar card.
He insisted that the decision to limit the issue of the Aadhaar card is part of the state government’s offer to prevent people from being illegal to obtain citizenship.
“Aadhaar saturation in Assam is 103%, which means no one outside 18 years is omitted, except for SC, ST and Tea Garden (Adivasi).
A representative of the Commissioner will have to operate such applications through a special branch of the state police, tribunals of foreigners and other agencies to verify whether applicants are real citizens.
The decision on Thursday (August 21, 2025) was 27th June by monitoring the Cabinet discussion to reinforce the rules of Aadhaar cards for adults in the state.
The Assam Government, led by Bharatiya Janata, has been working on the “involvement of Aadhaar” since April 2024, when Mr. Sarma said that people who had not requested to integrate into the National Citizens’ Register were forbidden to obtain a unique identification number.
In September 2024, he said four ASAM districts have more AADHAAR card holders than their expected population. The Bengal-Missing Muslims are mostly-barpet, Dhubri, Morigaon and Nagaon in these districts.

Mr. Sarma said that the Assam and Nagaland governments decided to carry out a plantation program for 12,000 bighas soil liberated from intervention to Uriamghat in East Assam Golaghat. The Assam government has moved more than 1,500 families, mostly from the Bengal Muslims, from the forest area bordering Nagaland.
The main minister said he would make Nagland a part of the planting unit to take a long journey through the re -producing patch, which was transformed into agricultural land Encroachers.
Extracted people were reportedly settled by the NDA governments as a “human barrier” against the offers of people from Nagaland to occupy the border areas of Assam and claim to be Nagaland the ancestor.
