BJP Leader Calls for NRC in West Garo Hills
Imagine a place where people from another country are moving in without permission.
A local political leader is worried about this happening in West Garo Hills.
He's asking the government to check who is living there, like they did in Assam, to see if people have the right paperwork.
He fears that if this continues, the local people might become a minority.
He wants stricter rules at the border and a special team to investigate how people are getting land and voting rights.
He believes this is needed to protect the area's original population.
BJP leader Peterjob Sangma urged for NRC implementation in West Garo Hills.
Sangma expressed concerns about unchecked settlement of undocumented immigrants.
He stated that the district could become a 'Mini Bangladesh'.
He alleged encroachment on land and illegal acquisition by immigrants.
He proposed measures including stronger border fencing and an audit.
