CAA was passed in Indian Parliament in December 2019

On March 11, days ahead of the announcement of the general election, the MHA notified the Citizenship Amendment Rules, 2024 that enabled the implementation of the CAA, more than four years after the legislation was passed by the Parliament in December 2019.

The Citizenship Act, 1955 was modified to make it easier for undocumented migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan who belong to six non-Muslim communities—Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, or Christian—to register and become naturalized under Section 6B of the CAA. These migrants entered India on or before December 31, 2014, and the qualifying period for citizenship was shortened from the previous requirement of 11 years to five years.

The Rules delegate final authority to an empowered committee led by the Director, Census Operations, while applications filed online on the portal indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in were reviewed by a district level committee (DLC) chaired by Department of Post officials.

On successful verification of documents, the DLCs administered the oath of allegiance to the applicants. The portal is said to have received over 25,000 applications so far.

While distributing the certificates, Mr. Bhalla highlighted the important attributes of the Rules. The Secretary, Posts; the Director, Intelligence Bureau; the Registrar General of India, and senior officers were also present during the interactive session.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
