12 illegal immigrants from Bangladesh 'pushed back': Assam CM
Guwahati (PTI): Twelve illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh were "pushed back", Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
Sarma, however, did not specify the district where they were apprehended or the sector of the border through which they were "pushed back".
"Mission Clean Up continues. In the wee hours, 12 illegal migrants were identified and PUSHED BACK to where they belong," Sarma said in a social media post on Thursday night.
"I have said time and again -- Assam will not spare a single illegal migrant. Each one of you will be sent back," he added.
The Assam cabinet had approved, in October last year, the framing of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) under the Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act, 1950, to guide District Commissioners and Senior Superintendents of Police in expelling illegal migrants from the state and addressing illegal immigration from neighbouring countries.
