Infiltrators apprehended in Assam's Dhubri, handed over to BSF: CM Himanta
Assam's Sribhumi, Cachar, Dhubri and South Salmara-Mankachar districts share 267.5 km of the international border with Bangladesh
Nine foreign nationals were apprehended in the Indian state of Assam's Dhubri district for illegally entering the country, according to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. These individuals were subsequently handed over to the Border Security Force (BSF) for deportation across the India-Bangladesh border. The Chief Minister emphasized that crossing illegally would result in facing the law, asserting that firm borders and zero compromise are non-negotiable.
He reiterated Assam's commitment to identifying and expelling infiltrators, adding that they will continue to identify infiltrators and send them back. The incident took place in the northeastern districts of Assam, which share a 267.5 km international border with Bangladesh. There are a total of three integrated check posts (ICPs) along this border, with one located in Assam's Sribhumi district at Sutarkandi.
