Akshaya Coordination Committee, representing 2,200 Akshaya service centres in the State under Kerala IT Mission, has called for an end to repeated collection of biometric details at National Population Registry camps.
Causing inconvenience
Office-bearers of the committee told a press conference here on Monday that repeated collection of biometric details at NPR camps caused inconvenience for the public and paved the way for private companies “to loot the exchequer.”
They said that biometric details already collected at the Adhar camps were being collected again at the NPR camps. This must end in the best interest of the public and the exchequer, they said.
They also want the government to make it compulsory for those coming to the NPR camps to bring either their UID card or their enrolment slip issued at the registration for UID cards.
Need for publicity
The Coordination Committee wants the government to provide wide publicity to UIDAI and to the welfare measures that the government planned to carry out using the unique identification number. The public should also be made aware of the importance and need for Adhar enrolment.
