&lt;p id='p_1'&gt;While the National Register of Citizenship (NRC) has not been updated across India since 1951, it is being done in Assam because of the issue of illegal immigrants reaching the Supreme Court. The NRC was promised as part of the Assam Accord signed in 1985 between the state government and All Assam Students' Union, which led a six-year-long agitation against illegal immigrants. The matter subsequently reached the apex court which ordered the list be released on December 31, 2017.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
