The chief minister informed that the state will soon come out with a certain set of rules under the Population Commission to intensify the drive against illegal immigrants.
“We are working on a mechanism to trace illegal immigrants and foreigners…” said Biren Singh.
Biren Singh cautioned that action will be taken against those found sheltering illegal immigrants during the house-to-house survey.
He said it was worrisome that a Bangladeshi, identified as Md Anwar Hussain, 54, and his son, Md Amzad Ali, successfully passed themselves off as locals since 1990 till they were caught recently.
