The Gauhati High Court has stayed the termination of 252 junior assistants who had been employed on contract for updating the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam.
They were served the termination notice on March 26, three days after the Registrar General of India (RG) ordered the closure of the NRC office in Assam and declined to sanction any fund after March 31. They had been appointed at the district, sub-division and circle levels in February 2015 with fixed monthly remuneration after the process of inducting them began on October 2, 2014.
