Authorities in Hyderabad have intensified their scrutiny of visa compliance, uncovering 49 foreign nationals exceeding the permitted duration of stay in the city. Following investigation and documentation procedures, immigration officials proceeded with deportation proceedings against 12 of the identified individuals.
The operation reflects growing regulatory focus on foreigners overstaying their authorized periods in major Indian cities. Immigration officials conducted verification of travel documents and visa validity across residential and commercial areas, identifying significant non-compliance among the foreign population.
The 12 deported nationals were processed through established legal channels prior to their removal from Indian territory. Authorities have not disclosed the nationalities of the deported individuals or specific details regarding their visa categories at this time.
The remaining 37 foreign nationals identified during the operation are reportedly facing separate enforcement measures. Officials indicated that further action would be determined based on individual circumstances and documentation status. The Hyderabad operation forms part of broader immigration enforcement initiatives being implemented across major metropolitan centers in India.
