Delay in activation of the Union Territory Government Portal and appointment of Nodal officer has put on hold enrolment of new Aadhar Card applicants in Jammu and Kashmir who are above 18 years of age. In absence of their Aadhar Card and non-issuance of the same for the last more than one and half months, the adult applicants are unable to operate their bank accounts and perform other necessary tasks for which the Aadhar has been made a mandatory document for identification.
