More than 32,000 Mizoram tribals staying in seven refugee camps in Tripura for the past two decades will be issued Aadhaar cards by the Tripura government, an official said on Saturday. An official of the Tripura Relief and Revenue Department said that the Home Ministry had asked the state to provide Aadhaar cards to these tribals to ensure hassle-free government benefits to them. The process to click photographs of these refugees will begin next week.
“The 12-digit card will be first issued to schoolchildren of the refugees and then all the adults,” Kanchanpur Sub-Divisional Magistrate Santosh Deb told IANS. The cards will be issued from the offices of Sub-Divisional Magistrates of Kanchanpur and Panisagar.
