“I sat since 12 noon, yet my turn has not come,” she said, pointing towards an inner room where two persons sat in front of the computer, struggling with the biometrics of the applicants.
Ms. Fathima Bi came here taking off from her work as domestic help, in order to update her Aadhaar with her latest phone number. She was among the several applicants patiently waiting there for their turn.
