Assam cops, BSF push 19 illegals into Bangladesh

GUWAHATI: Assam Police and BSF, in a joint operation Sunday, sent 19 illegal immigrants back to Bangladesh. The individuals were apprehended from Nagaon and Karbi Anglong.

Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma described the move as a "full Doomsday moment" for infiltrators. In an X post, he said they had "disappeared from India, reappeared in their hell hole." "Message is crystal clear - Illegal stay in Assam? Endgame guaranteed," he wrote on social media, emphasising state govt's firm stance against illegal immigration.


Officials involved in the operation stated that the deportation was part of a broader campaign to address illegal settlements posing a threat to Assam's demographic balance and security. The swift and decisive action serves as a warning to those considering Assam as a potential refuge, they said.

This operation aligns with Sarma's ongoing efforts to protect Assam's identity, reinforcing a no-nonsense approach to illegal immigration, officials said.
