Deputy Commissioner T.K. Swaroopa urged residents of Udupi district on Thursday to mandatorily link their mobile phone numbers with their Aadhaar.
The DC said that 14,11,209 Aadhaar cardholders in the district, 13,42,275 cardholders have linked their mobile phone numbers with Aadhaar. The remaining cardholders should complete the linking process at the earliest. The DC also sked students aged 15 and above to update their Aadhaar by providing fresh biometrics and otherwise the Aadhaar would be disabled.
As many as 41,115 adolescents were still required to update their Aadhaar in the district, she said, adding that failure to do so may hinder them from taking exams. She also stated that of the 45,832 children enrolled in the Poshan Tracker at Anganwadi centres, 11,947 were yet to get Aadhaar cards. She urged parents to get Aadhaar cards for such children by visiting the nearest post offices.
