Ahmedabad Police Verify Bengali Workers Amid Illegal Immigrant Crackdown

In Ahmedabad, India, police are checking identification documents of Bengali workers, mostly in the gold industry.

This is happening because of concerns about illegal immigrants, particularly after a recent terror attack.

The police had previously detained people in the Chandola lake area, some of whom were found to be from Bangladesh.

Business owners in the gold market have cooperated by providing documents for their workers.

The local Bengali community, like the Samast Bengali Samaj Association, is involved, highlighting the unique skills and long history of Bengali migrants in the city.
