SIT formed to detect illegal immigrants in West Tripura: Police
Tipra Motha Party (TMP) supremo Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma thanked the police for the move and asked the indigenous people to report any such illegal immigrant.
Agartala, Jul 19 (PTI) The West Tripura district police has constituted a 15-member Special Task Force (STF) to detect, identify and deport immigrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar.
'For deportation of illegal Bangladesh nationals/Rohingyas, a district-level Special Task Force (STF) has been constituted for West Tripura district police to detect, identify and deport immigrants from Bangladesh/Myanmar settled or apprehended in the district,' Superintendent of Police (SP) Kiran Kumar said in an official order.
'If a person is identified as an illegal Bangladesh national or a Rohingya after inquiry, the respective team members shall immediately ensure the capture of their biometrics (fingerprint and facial photographs) and demographic details and upload those on the foreigners' identification portal,' it said.
'After capturing biometrics and demographic details, the illegal immigrants shall be handed over to the officers of BSF for deportation to their native land. The dy SP, DIB (District Intelligence Bureau) will ensure collection and compilation of weekly, fortnightly and monthly basis data in this regard for ready reference,' the recent order added.
Debbarma claimed that the SIT was formed as a result of persistent pressure created on the BJP-led government by TMP, a constituent of the ruling coalition, to address the illegal immigration issue.
'Thank you Tripura Police for taking up this crucial issue. If we all continue to speak up together, things will happen on the ground. The genuine people of Tripura should report such activity,' he said in a social media post. PTI PS ACD

'Nazi' BJP Targeting 'Bengalis': TMC MP Mahua Moitra's Explosive Interview On Gurugram Crackdown
/ Jul 27, 2025, 10:47PM IST In an exclusive interview with TOI Bharat, TMC MP Mohua Moitra tore apart BJP for allegedly picking up Bengali migrant workers in states where the party rules under the garb of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. In a freewheeling chat with Aditi Prasad on the recent crackdown on Bangladeshi immigrants in Gurugram, Mahua Moitra alleges that due process have not been followed while detaining Bengali-speaking migrants despite showing identity proofs. Moitra says legal migrants are being picked up on the basis of language, hinting at a sinister ploy to persecute people from Bengal. She has also issued warning that the issue will blow up in the face of BJP which aims to wrest power from Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal in the 2026 assembly elections.#mahuamoitra #mahuamoitrainterview #mahuamoitraspeech #tmc #bjp #pmmodi #narendramodi #amitshah #mamatabanerjee #bengal #bengali #gurugrambengali #gurugrambangladeshi #bengalimigrants #bengaliimmigrants #bangladeshi #bangladeshiimmigrants #illegalimmigrants #rohingyas #bsf #murshidabadviolence #bengalelections #bengalassemblypolls #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews

YSRCP accuses Andhra govt of large-scale land irregularities in Vizag
Visakhapatnam, Jul 27 (PTI) YSRCP leader and former minister Gudivada Amarnath on Sunday accused the TDP-led coalition government of 'large-scale land irregularities" and said it was behaving like a 'real estate agency" while allotting public lands to associates, firms and realtors at 'unjustifiably" low prices here. He alleged that the state government diverted prime land to newly incorporated firms with no credentials, undermining previous IT development plans initiated under the YSRCP regime. 'The TDP-led coalition government has committed massive irregularities in land allocations in Visakhapatnam since the government was formed," Amarnath said while addressing a press conference. He alleged that private companies received valuable land at rates as low as Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore per acre, calling it a 'quid pro quo'. He noted the land deals had created no IT jobs for Andhra's youth. The former minister further alleged that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Nara Lokesh were directly overseeing these land deals, and that public land was being 'looted" to benefit their associates. The YSRCP leader linked Naidu's frequent visits to Singapore to alleged corruption and old ties with tainted individuals there. Amarnath said that the YSRCP would launch a mass movement against the land scam and hold the Naidu-led coalition government accountable for allegedly diverting public wealth for private gains. Meanwhile, there was no immediate reaction from the ruling TDP. PTI MS GDK KH view comments First Published: July 27, 2025, 23:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
