Indian Railways has announced plans to undertake random Aadhaar verification of passengers to curb illegal immigration. This measure aims to identify individuals misusing Aadhaar cards, particularly illegal immigrants from neighboring countries like Bangladesh, who often use forged documents. The initiative follows recent crackdowns where authorities uncovered widespread Aadhaar misuse, including arrests linked to counterfeit card production. By implementing these random checks, Railways intends to strengthen security and ensure the authenticity of passenger identities. This move is part of a larger government effort to address illegal immigration and protect national security. (PC: Reuters)
