The state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) led by Chief Minister (CM) Yogi Adityanath has become the first state in the country to send the list of refugees to Home Ministry for granting Indian citizenship under the contours of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), reports the Times of India.
The State has sent the report titled "Uttar Pradesh Mein Aaye Pakistan, Afghanistan Aevam Bangladesh ke Sharnarthiyon ki Aapbeeti Kahani" comprising the list of refugees hailing from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan residing in 19 of its districts, along with detailed accounts of their personal stories.
It should be noted that of the total number of refugees, a major chunk of nearly 30,000-35,000 refugees are resident in just the Pilibhit district, while the rest are resident in other districts of the State.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
