Where do lost Aadhar numbers go? For many people who lose their Aadhaar numbers, retrieving them is close to impossible.
For example many daily-wage labourers in APMC mandi, have lost their Aadhaar card, don't remember their Aadhaar number, don't have a registered mobile number and have no idea where or how to retrieve it.
Jheenak Prasad is a migrant labourer from Azamgarh (UP). He lost his Aadhaar six months ago, doesn't have a registered mobile number, can't remember his date of birth, and is running around to retrieve the lost card as he needs it for COVID vaccination - without which he cannot find work.
