Aadhaar: irregularity alleged
- STAFF REPORTER
Residents protesting against the delay in Aadhaar enrolment at Hasthampatti Zonal office in Salem on Wednesday.
Alleging irregularities in distribution of tokens for Aadhaar enrolment, residents staged a protest in Hasthampatti Zonal office here on Wednesday.
They said that since biometric capturing can be done only for 50 persons, they were waiting from 7 am to receive the tokens. However, corporation officials allegedly received money from many and did not give token to us, they said.
They also cause confusion by given the same number in tokens to many. Residents also said that tokens are also sold by the officials and they were forced to wait for long hours.
Condemning this, residents staged protest and the capturing of biometric details was halted. After officials held talks with the protestors, the camp continued.
