Officials said the individual was formally handed over to the Border Guards Bangladesh on Friday. This operation underscores the state government's commitment to curbing illegal immigration and securing the borders.
The 'detect and deport' policy aims to identify and remove individuals who have entered Assam without proper documentation. The state administration has intensified efforts to tackle illegal immigration, with a focus on coordination between various security agencies.
This move is part of a broader strategy to maintain national security and uphold the rule of law. The Assam government continues to work closely with central agencies to ensure effective implementation of immigration policies.
