National Identity Cards for coastal areas
In its ongoing effort to beef up coastal security following the Mumbai terror attacks, the Centre has decided to issue multi-purpose national identity cards to the population living in the coastal areas.
To expedite the project, under the charge of the Registrar General of India, the government has asked states to undertake data collection for the creation of a National Population Register with respect to habitations in coastal areas without waiting for the 2011 census.
States have been asked to furnish the final list of the coastal villages by February 1 so that the data collection can commence from the last week of February. The project is to be completed in a period of one year.
