Over two months after notifying rules for the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the Ministry of Home Affairs on Wednesday issued the first set of citizenship certificates under the law to 14 people. Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla handed over the certificates to the applicants. On March 11, the Centre notified the rules for the CAA, paving the way for the implementation of the controversial law over four years after its passage by Parliament in December 2019.
