The newly elected West Bengal government’s intensified focus on identifying and deporting illegal immigrants has reportedly led to a surge in movement at the Hakimpur border checkpost in North 24 Parganas, where hundreds of people have gathered in recent days seeking to return to Bangladesh.
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Tuesday issued a strong warning to alleged illegal Bangladeshi nationals gathered near the Hakimpur checkpoint in Basirhat, urging authorities to accelerate deportation efforts.
