Assam-govt playing role of catalyst to Central govt's efforts: Sonowal
The Assam government is playing the role of a catalyst to Central government's efforts in bringing about infrastructural development along the border areas, Sonowal said.
On the publication of the final Draft National Register of Citizens on July 30, he said genuine Indian citizens whose names are left out from it would get an opportunity to enroll through the disposal of claims and objections.
