The updated Assam citizens list, also called the National Register of Citizens list or the NRC list, will be released at 10 am tomorrow. The NRC list, first published in Assam in 1951, has been updated to segregate Indian citizens living in Assam from those who have illegally entered the state from Bangladesh after March 1971. The Centre has said people whose names don't appear in the final NRC cannot be declared foreigners till all legal options are exhausted. It also said that every individual left out from final Assam citizen list can appeal to Foreigners Tribunals.

When the draft citizen list was published on July 30, 2018, there was a huge controversy over the exclusion of 40.7 lakh people from it. The draft list included the names of 2.9 crore people out of the total 3.29 crore applications.
In the list published in June 2019, over one lakh more people were excluded.
Assam has seen a huge influx of people from Bangladesh since the early 20th century.
