Dr Senu Duggal, Deputy Commissioner, Fazilka has appealed to all the residents of the district to keep their Aadhaar Cards updated. She urged Aadhaar Card holders, who have not updated their Aadhaar in the last over 8 years to update Aadhaar with valid supporting documents of proof of identity and proof of address either online through my Aadhaar portal for Aadhaar app or offline by visiting the nearest Aadhaar centre.
