Guwahati: The Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday said that the Assam police have pushed back three Bangladeshi infiltrators including a Rohingya after illegally entering Indian territory.
In a post on X, Chief Minister wrote “Intensifying its actions against illegal infiltration, @assampolice has pushed back 3 illegal infiltrators including a Rohingya in the last 2 days.”
The persons were identified as Sihab Miah, Monir Khan and Abdul Shukkur.
The Chief Minister mentioned that the state administration would continue the strict vigil along the border.
Sarma earlier stated that the Bangladeshi infiltration spiked up in the last few months due to the collapse of the textile industry in the neighbouring country leaving many jobless there.
He stated that the economy of Bangladesh has collapsed due to unrest and the majority community people were more affected than the minority section.
“So far, we have arrested around 1000 Bangladeshi people in the last few months. They were pushed back immediately after their arrest,” the Chief Minister mentioned.
He also attributed the illegal infiltration to incentives offered by a few textile industry owners in India.
Sarma also said that he took up the issue of Bangladeshi infiltration with Union Home Minister Amit Shah during the meeting of the North Eastern Council (NEC).
“I have discussed these things with other Chief Ministers of northeastern states,” he added.
