Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal called on union home minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi and held discussions on host of issues including the ongoing NRC update process and Naga Framework Agreement on Monday.

After the meeting, talking to the media Sonowal said that he had conveyed to the union home minister the state government’s preparedness in the post-NRC publication.
