Over 900 Suspected Illegal Immigrants Detained by Railways
Imagine the railway is like a big, long road, and sometimes people who aren't supposed to be here try to sneak in.
Over the last two years, the railway police caught over 900 people they thought were trying to enter the country illegally.
Most of these people were found in the northeastern part of the country, north Bengal, and some parts of Bihar.
The railway police and other officers have been specially trained to find these people.
They've also discovered that some people are helping others cross borders for money, and they've caught some of these agents too.
The police are now keeping a close eye on train stations and trains to catch anyone who doesn't belong.
