The Crime Desk: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has directed all schools in Delhi to identify illegal Bangladeshi migrant students. This information was given in a report by the Indian Express and Deccan Herald on Saturday (December 21).
The report said that schools have also been instructed to properly identify and verify the identity of students at the time of admission.
The Times of India says that on December 12, the MCD held a virtual meeting chaired by the Principal Secretary (Home) of the GNCTD (Delhi government). There, the implementation of ‘preventive measures’ against illegal Bangladeshi migrants was discussed.
According to the report, the Public Health Department of India has been instructed not to issue birth certificates to illegal migrants from Bangladesh. Later, the MCD also asked them to take preventive measures in this regard and was instructed to properly identify and verify the identity of the students.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has announced the construction of a detention center for ‘illegal Bangladeshis’ in India.
The Maharashtra Chief Minister said, in recent times, we have seen that many people are being arrested in drug and illegal entry cases, as well as illegal Bangladeshis, all of whom are foreign nationals. They cannot be kept directly in our jails. They have to be kept in detention camps, so the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has given us land to build a detention camp. But that land does not comply with the rules of detention camps. So we have asked the BMC for other land so that a good detention center can be built in Mumbai.
