Massive mistakes again: 800 villagers issued with the same date of birth in UIDAI number

A remote village near Haridwar’s Gaindi Khata is provided with Aadhaar card having the same birth date. Over 800 of villagers have the same date 1st January as their date of birth on their Aadhaar cards.

Haridwar’s Subdivisional Magistrate (SDM) said that the incident came to their notice through the report. The SDM seeks a detailed investigation on the incident and makes sure that strict actions will be taken against the wrongdoers.

The residents claimed that the error occurred despite the villagers providing voter ID cards and ration cards to the private agency which was tasked with making Aadhaar cards. Similarly, some 250 villagers of Pabupadia in Jaisalmer district found that their new Aadhaar cards cite their date of birth as January 1.
