Assam Police apprehend 25 suspected illegal infiltrators

Assam Police apprehended 25 suspected illegal infiltrators attempting to enter India through the international border. Following the operation, the individuals were turned back to their place of origin, according to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

Sarma praised the coordination between the Assam Police and the Border Security Force (BSF) in maintaining border vigilance. This operation is part of an intensified crackdown by the state government against suspected illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, involving increased surveillance and identity verification to prevent unauthorized entry.

This incident follows recent enforcement actions, including the detention of 27 Bangladeshi nationals in September during operations in Guwahati and Rangiya. The state government continues to focus on border security and addressing demographic changes through increased monitoring of accommodation facilities.
