The Assam government has apprehended and expelled a total of 28 illegal immigrants as part of its ongoing crackdown on infiltration, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced. The development marks another phase in the state's intensified enforcement operations targeting undocumented entry into the region.
Sarma, through a social media post, emphasized that the state administration remains resolute in its anti-infiltration campaign. The Chief Minister stated that the government would persist with such operations without any compromise on matters concerning Assam's security and cultural identity.
The expulsion action aligns with the state's broader policy framework on border management and internal security. Assam, sharing an international border with Bangladesh, has long grappled with issues related to illegal immigration, which successive governments have identified as a key concern for the region.
The state government has consistently prioritized enforcement actions to regulate undocumented migration. Such operations are conducted in conjunction with relevant agencies and authorities responsible for border surveillance and immigration control in the northeastern region.
