Aizawl, 25 July (PTI): Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla on Monday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speed up the process of issuing Aadhar cards to the people of the state.
In a letter to Modi, Lal Thanhawla said only 58 per cent of the population of the state had been enrolled under the Bio-metric enrollment (BME) while fewer people had been issued Aadhar cards, an official statement said here. He said slow process in BME implementation was due to slow internet in the state and sluggish work by the companies entrusted with the task.
He urged the Prime Minister to convey the problem being faced by Mizoram to the Registrar General of India so that the people of the state would not face problems in LPG subsidies and UGC scholarship and fellowship.

In a press statement issued here, the MPCC said that the state government did not have any knowledge about such proposal termed it as baseless.
