Thakurnagar, Nov 1 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday assured members of the Matua community that all pending applications for citizenship under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) would be cleared by December 31, with certificates issued to eligible applicants after completion of the hearing process.
