GUWAHATI: Assam Police and BSF, in a joint operation Sunday, sent 19 illegal immigrants back to Bangladesh. The individuals were apprehended from Nagaon and Karbi Anglong.Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma described the move as a “full Doomsday moment” for infiltrators. In an X post, he said they had “disappeared from India, reappeared in their hell hole.” “Message is crystal clear – Illegal stay in Assam? Endgame guaranteed,” he wrote on social media, emphasising state govt’s firm stance against illegal immigration.Officials involved in the operation stated that the deportation was part of a broader campaign to address illegal settlements posing a threat to Assam’s demographic balance and security. The swift and decisive action serves as a warning to those considering Assam as a potential refuge, they said.This operation aligns with Sarma’s ongoing efforts to protect Assam’s identity, reinforcing a no-nonsense approach to illegal immigration, officials said.
