Chidambaram, however, said there was not much problem
along the border with Pakistan as it was mostly fenced.
"There is a not a great danger along the border with
Pakistan. Indo-Nepal border is a porous border. Yes, there is
some danger there too. We have to be cautious there too," he
said.
The Indian Home Minister said the NPR is a register of
usual residents and the nationality being canvassed in the
form as per the declaration of the respondent and this will
not confer any rights of citizenship on anybody.
"If any false claim is being made, it should be brought
to the notice of the relevant authorities that have been
notified namely, the village officer, the Tehsildar or the
Collector who will cause the verification of antecedents and
appropriate action will be taken under the law," he said.
During the exercise, the enumerators will collect
from each household 35 details related to total number of
person living, their sex, number of dwelling rooms, number of
married couples, source of drinking water, type of latrine,
fuel used for cooking, type of floor, wall, roof, whether
anyone owns car/two wheeler, anyone availing bank service etc.
Asking the officials to do the task with utmost
sincerity and dedication, Chidambaram said there were
significant difference between the normal Census work and the
NPR which will be a path-breaking initiative for others to
follow.
"Each one of you is, therefore, a pioneer and it is
through the joint efforts of all of you that this ambitious
task can be fulfilled," he said. PTI
