Assam’s Demographic Shift: More Than Just Voter Lists, Says CM Sarma

Sarma emphasized the need for a multifaceted approach that goes beyond legal and administrative measures like electoral roll revisions and NRC updates. He stressed the importance of understanding and addressing the root causes of demographic shifts.

Seeking Holistic Solutions Beyond NRC and Voter Lists

While acknowledging the role of legal frameworks, the Chief Minister suggested that a more comprehensive strategy is crucial for effectively managing demographic change in Assam. He called for a deeper examination of the societal, economic, and other contributing factors influencing these shifts.
