Jharsuguda, Jul 8: Under the leadership of Superintendent of Police Smit Parmar, the Jharsuguda police have intensified their efforts to identify and verify suspected illegal immigrants in the district.

The department is currently in the process of screening 444 individuals across various police stations who are believed to be Bangladeshi nationals.

Sources within the police department stated that this large-scale identification campaign is part of a crackdown on potential illegal infiltration. Each individual is being carefully scrutinized to determine their nationality and legality of residence. If confirmed to be illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, strong legal action will be initiated, and deportation proceedings will follow.

Authorities emphasized that this operation aligns with national directives concerning border security and population records. The police are working in coordination with intelligence and immigration departments to ensure that protocols are strictly followed.

Local officials assured that due process would be followed for every individual, and those found to have valid documents will be exempt from further action.

The screening is expected to conclude in the coming days, after which deportation processes will be initiated for confirmed illegal entrants.
