PMC Suspends UID Registration Drive
Pune
Following orders from the state government, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has suspended the unique identification (UID) registration drive in the city, till it receives further orders.
UID cell chief and PMC deputy commissioner Praveen Ashtikar said that the PMC had received orders to suspend the drive, but the state government has given no clarification or reasons for the suspension of the drive, after over 12 lakh citizens have registered for the Aadhaar card. The government will issue further orders regarding to the drive in April.
The state government had appointed four agencies for UID registration in Pune. Since January 2011, the drive received enthusiastic response from citizens. While 400 registration machines were needed, only 153 were available. These machines were divided in the 14 ward offices and citizens had crowded ward offices for registration. Under the UID scheme, a 12-digit number would be allotted to each individual after the work of collecting information was completed. As per the PMC’s plan, the registration process in the city was expected to be completed by December 2012.
