A total of 21 illegal migrants from Bangladesh, including women and children, were sent back to their country from Assam in the early hours of Sunday, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said. The pushback took place in the Sribhumi district of the state, he said.
“Alert eyes. Midnight action. At 12:30 AM sharp, 21 illegal migrants were sent back to their respective country, thanks to the ever-watchful @sribhumipolice,” Sarma said in a post on X.
“Seems like while most people were dreaming, our police were wide awake doing the night shift for the nation. Sleep can wait when duty calls,” Sarma wrote.
