UIDAI drive for 4.6 crore UP minors to update biometrics
Children can visit any of the 12 Aadhaar seva kendras (ASK) locations across UP, situated in Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur, Gonda, Varanasi, Agra, Moradabad, Saharanpur, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Meerut and Prayagraj. Walk-in services are available on weekdays from 4.30-5.30 pm, and 9.30-5.30 pm during weekends (Saturday and Sunday).
Deputy director general of UIDAI's Lucknow region, Colonel Prashant Kumar Singh said, "Considering the summer vacations of schools, we have launched this campaign for children, for whom biometric updates are mandatory between the ages of 5-17 years."
The state has 2,937 biometric update centres, including 500 run by Indian postal service, in addition to the 12 ASKs. These centres require prior appointments for updates.
As per UIDAI guidelines, children aged 0-5 years do not need biometrics for Aadhaar enrolment. However, two biometric updates are necessary from age 5-17.
Currently, 1.8 crore minors from 5-7 years require Aadhaar biometric updates, while 2.8 crore minors from 15-17 years have pending biometric updates in UP.

"From 5-7 years, the minor needs to get the biometric updated. This is free of cost. However, between 8-14 years, the biometric update charges are Rs 100. Further, from 15-17 years, the biometric update is again mandatory, and the service is free of cost, but post 17 years the biometric update charges are Rs 100," Col Singh said.
For Lucknow residents, the ASK service is accessible at Ratan Square for biometric updates.
On each ASK, there are at least two counters which have been dedicated for minor's biometric updates.

Indian man shocked by US neighbours' cold response on house catching fire, video sparks debate: ‘That's called giving personal space'
Nitish Advitiy, an Indian vlogger, recently had a cultural shock after a house in his neighbourhood caught fire. However, none of the neighbours stepped out of their homes to check on the owner or to offer help. In the now-viral video shared on Instagram, Advitiy captured the scene where several firefighters assisted the house that caught fire. 'Look, there's a fire in this house. There's a major problem, and the firefighters are breaking open the terrace. Look, there are so many fire brigades and police vehicles. But I am shocked. There are so many houses in the neighbourhood, but no one came out of their houses to check about the incident. Even my owner just asked me how the incident unfolded, and went back inside,' Advitiy says in the video. 'No one came outside to check. It's just me. No one cares if people are dying in the neighbourhood. I think this is the only case in India where people step out to check on their neighbours,' he adds. The viral video shows that firefighters had broken open the window, and some climbed the terrace, attempting to open it. No onlookers can be spotted in the video. 'I know people will abuse me but I am telling the truth. If neighbours don't help each other then what is the point of a neighbourhood?' Advitiy captioned the video. Watch here: A post shared by नितिश अद्वितय (@nitishadvitiy) The video quickly gained traction, sparking a debate over civic sense and personal space. 'They know the authorities will take care of the same, no need of people to come and make reels of same,' a user wrote. 'That's called giving personal space reason why police in India don't arrive but people do learn some civic sense don't make everything emotional of course if it's a big fire one will come out and see,' another user commented. 'Firefighters along with ambulance comes within minutes in USA And very skilled ones. In India firefighters will come after 1 to 2 hours. Neighbours will come to see,' a third user reacted.
