51 Hindu migrant families from Pak get Indian citizenship
As many as 51 Pakistani Hindu migrant families that had been living in Chhattisgarh's Raipur for several years were granted Indian citizenship on Wednesday. By doing this, Chhattisgarh has become the first state to award citizenship after PM Narendra Modi entitled the state governments with this right in 2015. Earlier, only the Union government had the power to grant citizenships.
