Thousands of Aadhaar cards found in well

Yavatmal: A group of youngsters, who had volunteered to desilt a well in view of acute drinking water shortage in Maharashtra’s Yavatmal district, were in for a shock when they found thousands of original Aadhaar cards dumped in it on Sunday. The cards were packed in nylon gunny bags with rocks tied to them.

The youths found gunny bags when they were removing silt and garbage from the well in the premises of Sai Mandir. Though the cards were partially damaged, the details on many of them were readable. They found the cards belonged to residents of Lohara village on Yavatmal city’s outskirts. TNN
