Leprosy patient gets Aadhaar without biometrics for pension
A 65-year-old Bengaluru woman, who lost her hands and vision due to leprosy, has been enrolled for an Aadhaar card without mandatory biometrics of her iris and fingerprints to restore her monthly welfare pension. Authorities of the hospital where she was staying had approached a local UIDAI centre with necessary documents and sought Aadhaar for her as a special case.
