The law states, “the Central Government shall, for the purpose of National Register of Indian Citizens, cause to carry throughout the country a house-to-house enumeration for collection of specified particulars relating to each family and individual, residing in a local area including the Citizenship status”

So, it can be said that beyond making it a political debate, Mamata Banerjee as a CM can’t really decide on the NRC implementation.

The rules clearly state that once the notification is issued, the local administration should assist the process.
