Fortifying the act of weaning of illegal migrants, BSF arrests around 26 Bangladeshi trying to enter India

Kolkata, August 27: In a quest to stop illegal migrants entering the country, India has taken various steps which includes strengthening the security forces. Acting vigilant and alert, the Border Security Forces have apprehended as many as 26 Bangladeshi nationals who tried to crossover to India.

 

According to BSF officials, the illegal immigrants were arrested on Monday from the Ghona field area of the Indo-Bangladesh border which comes under Bangaon Police Station limits. The official added, “The Bangladeshi nationals, including two brokers, were arrested by the BSF personnel of the 64 Battalion, guarded at the border, as the BSF personnel have intensified surveillance in the area. The arrested brokers were handed over to the Bangaon police station for further legal action.”

The illegal immigrants, including children and women, were presented before the Bongaon Sub-Division Court.

An exercise to identify alien immigrants from Muslim-majority Bangladesh has been going on in Assam for years, as the NRC data will identify the Indian nationals so as to provide the rights to those who really deserve it.
