Who is Prateek Hajela, who’s making the headlines in Assam?
Monday, July 23, 2018 IST
Few bureaucrats in Assam, including J.P. Rajkhowa who had a controversial tenure as Governor of Arunachal Pradesh post-retirement, have made the headlines as much as Prateek Hajela, Principal Secretary, Home, and the State Coordinator for the never-before exercise to update the National Register of Citizens (NRC) of 1951. He has received bouquets and brickbats in almost equal measure. But both admirers and critics agree he has the unenviable task of delivering an error-free NRC, the work on which will continue after the July 30 deadline set by the Supreme Court for publishing the second and final draft.
