Northeastern States Issue Alerts Over Assam Eviction Concerns
Several northeastern states are worried about people moving from Assam after Assam began evicting people from their land.
Meghalaya and Manipur told their officials to watch out for people coming from Assam.

The states are trying to make sure they know who is entering their areas and that people are treated fairly.

The advisories urge vigilance to prevent a possible influx of illegal migrants from Assam.
