Assam sends back 370 illegal immigrants this month

India

On Monday, Assam Police sent back 20 people suspected of crossing illegally from Bangladesh at the Sribhumi border.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma made it clear: "Assam is home for all Indians, not for illegal foreigners trying to alter the state's demography," and said more than 370 alleged infiltrators have been returned recently, especially as attempts have increased since political unrest in Bangladesh last August.

Assam has stepped up patrols and border checks

Assam has stepped up patrols and border checks to handle the rise in illegal crossings, working closely with the Border Security Force.
These efforts aim to keep the region stable and safe, as illegal immigration can create tensions and security risks.
The state's pushback policy highlights how seriously Assam takes protecting its borders and community.
