The Deputy Commissioner further said that the citizens can upload their documents online on the MyAadhaar portal or can submit their documents at Aadhaar enrolment centres in their respective areas.

Meanwhile, she convened a meeting with the concerned agencies and directed them to start an Aadhar updation drive in the district.

Pertinent to mention that the Central government has selected 40 districts on a pilot basis for document updation in Aadhaar Cards and Jammu is one of them.
