Dear Comrades,
Around 2.75 lakh Aadhaar cards are lying at the office of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) as the applicants concerned were not available at the residences when the cards were delivered by the postal authorities. The authorities have now decided to deliver the cards again with help of the district administration.
"We have about 2.75 lakh Aadhaar cards lying with us which were returned as the persons were not found at the address. The postal authorities waited for seven days before returning such cards to us," MVS Ram Reddy, deputy director general, UIDIA, Andhra Pradesh, told TOI.
In fact, the UIDAI is unable to establish as to who exactly fall in this category as the status update options on the official UIDAI website does not take into account the cards that were returned due to the absence of the applicant at the time of delivery. "Therefore, it is not clear as to who these 2.75 lakh Aadhaar applicants are. This only prolongs the agony of the Aadhaar applicant," said an official.
Now, the authorities have decided to take the help of the district administration in ensuring that the 'returned' Aadhar cards are once again delivered to the rightful applicant. Within the next 10 days, the cards will be dispatched to the district administration which will further send it to the mandal authorities for distribution, officials said. Redistribution of the 2.75 lakh Aadhaar cards will be completed within one month, the officials added.
