'Identify and deport Illegal migrants'; Union Home Minister Amit Shah's ultimatum to security agencies

NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah issued strict instructions to security agencies to identify and deport illegal migrants. The Centre claims that strong action is needed to curb illegal immigration, border infiltration, terrorism and cybercrime.

Amit Shah directed agencies to take strict action against terrorist networks and to coordinate between central and state agencies. Amit Shah's directive was given at a meeting in Delhi attended by more than 850 security personnel, heads of central agencies and state police forces to discuss national security measures.

Illegal immigration is a threat to internal security, and therefore, it is recommended to identify them and deport them through legal means. It is also recommended to further strengthen surveillance and intelligence systems to prevent infiltration across the border.
