The Government has detected a total of 5457 illegal immigrants in Kamjong District, Manipur as on May 7th, 2024. Out of the total, the biometric data of 5173 such illegal immigrants have been collected so far. Deportation process is underway. We have been giving humanitarian aides to all the illegal immigrants who were detected so far. Despite being an alarming situation, we have been handling it with utmost sensitivity."
"In this crucial juncture, we have noticed certain home grown groups, based out of western countries, criticising the steps taken up against illegal immigration by giving a communal tone and propagating it as violations of religious freedom," he added.
He stressed that this is a situation where the survival of indigenous people is at stake and this will not allowed to be continued.
Furthermore, Singh revealed that 38 Myanmarese nationals were deported from Manipur last week, bringing the total number of deportations to 77, including 55 women and five children, since March 8.
