They urged Tripura govt to take steps to implement ministry of home affairs (MHA) directive on the identification and deportation of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. TSF general secretary Hamalu Jamatia said the TSF expresses its deep concern following the notification issued by the MHA on May 19 on illegal immigrants. They said the notification clearly instructs all state govts, including Tripura, to identify and deport illegal immigrants from Bangladesh within 30 days.
"We urge the Govt of Tripura to take this matter with the highest degree of seriousness. Reports and updates from various regions of the state indicate a steady influx and settlement of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, and in many instances, individuals have already been apprehended by local authorities. Despite these actions, the problem continues to escalate," he said.
They claimed that the TSF is receiving credible reports of illegal immigrants settling in several districts, including Gomati, Dhalai, Sepahijala, South Tripura, West Tripura, and North Tripura.
This widespread and unauthorised settlement poses a serious threat to the demographic balance, land rights, cultural identity, and overall security of the indigenous people of Tripura.
