Assam kid in viral 2017 Independence Day pic not in NRC

GUWAHATI: Haydor Khan, the nine-year-old boy whose photo of saluting the National Flag during Independence Day 2017, standing chest deep in flood water, has been left out of NRC.

The photo where the boy was seen saluting the Tricolour with his teacher went viral on social media and had set a new benchmark of patriotism among the people across the nation.

According to sources, Haydor's family members' names appeared on the list, whereas his name was excluded. The final draft of NRC has the names of Haydor's mother, brother and his sister. But much to the disappointment of the family, Haydor's name did not appear in the NRC.
