West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has announced a new "detect-delete-deport" policy targeting illegal immigrants, including Bangladeshis and Rohingyas. The state is establishing "holding centres" across districts to temporarily house apprehended foreigners before repatriation, with two centres already operational in Murshidabad and Malda.

Bengal has opened its first holding centres for illegal foreign nationals in Malda and Murshidabad, districts bordering Bangladesh. Nine Bangladeshis were moved to Malda's centre, and three to Murshidabad's, after being intercepted without valid documents. This initiative follows a state government order to house apprehended foreigners before deportation, with similar centres planned across other districts.

West Bengal's BJP government has launched its 'detect, delete and deport' policy, opening a holding center in Malda for illegal foreign nationals. Nine suspected Bangladeshi nationals are currently housed there, awaiting verification and legal procedures. This initiative aims to streamline the deportation process for apprehended individuals, as mandated by a new national law.

In a volatile development, the Kuki National Army-Burma has crossed into Manipur, igniting tensions by launching assaults on three villages inhabited by the Tangkhul Naga in Kamjong district. Swift action by the Assam Rifles led to the rescue of a woman who had been kidnapped amid the chaos.
