5 Bangladeshi nationals who illegally entered India detained in Guwahati
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma informed on Sunday that state police successfully thwarted an attempt by at least five Bangladeshi nationals to illegally enter India. The incident reportedly occurred at 3 a.m. on July 18.
However, the Chief Minister did not specify the exact location through which the Bangladeshi nationals tried to enter the country.
“5 Bangladeshi nationals were detected at the international border when they tried to enter Assam at 3 a.m. on 18th July. However, Assam Police acted swiftly and pushed them back immediately,” Sarma posted on his ‘X’ handle.
Border security remains a critical concern for states sharing boundaries with neighboring countries, necessitating ongoing efforts to enhance vigilance and enforcement measures.
Sarma’s announcement highlights the state’s commitment to safeguarding borders and preventing illegal immigration.
Earlier, the Assam Chief Minister had requested the Central government to evacuate the stranded students of the state in Bangladesh as the neighbouring country has been witnessing unrest for the last several days.
According to an official, at least 400 students and tourists were rescued from Bangladesh using the Dawki border located at Meghalaya.
