The Assam Chief Minister said that for this process, talks have already started with experts.
Speaking to media persons on Sunday, CM Sarma said, "We are gradually making a big plan that those who enrolled their names in the NRC by making forgery, we will try to delete those names from the NRC list by bringing the forgery into light. For this, we have started to talk with the experts."
