The West Bengal government has announced plans to establish 'holding centres' throughout the state to detain illegal immigrants, specifically targeting individuals from Bangladesh and Rohingya refugees. This decision follows an order from the Home and Hills Affairs Department, which outlines the procedures for deporting those apprehended for illegal residency. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari emphasized a 'detect, delete, and deport' policy to strengthen the state's anti-infiltration efforts. Detainees will be held for a maximum of 30 days while their deportation processes are initiated. The centres will accommodate both newly detained individuals and those already in the deportation pipeline. This move aligns with previous directives from the Ministry of Home Affairs, which has called for the identification and deportation of illegal immigrants across various states, including Assam and Delhi, where similar centres have faced legal scrutiny. The government's actions reflect a renewed commitment to addressing illegal immigration and enhancing border security.
