Tripura Forms Task Forces to Find Illegal Immigrants
The government in Tripura is setting up special teams to find people living there illegally.
These teams are checking if anyone has come into the state without permission, especially since 2014.
The Chief Minister wants to clear up any misunderstandings about this.
The government is following rules that say people who came from certain countries before December 2014 because they were in danger can stay.
The teams will look for anyone who arrived after that date without permission or recently.
Tripura is establishing Special Task Forces (STFs) to identify illegal immigrants.
The STFs will investigate infiltration, particularly since 2014.
Chief Minister Manik Saha stated some are trying to create confusion about the initiative.
The Indian government recognizes those who came before December 2014 due to religious persecution.
The STFs will check for recent or post-2014 illegal immigration cases.
