Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has mandated district magistrates to take decisive action against illegal immigrants, emphasizing that law and order, national security, and social harmony are paramount. He directed the establishment of temporary detention centres in each district to house illegal immigrants pending verification, with the assurance of deportation to their countries of origin as per established procedures. This initiative is particularly significant given Uttar Pradesh’s open border with Nepal, necessitating careful regulation of non-national residents. The government’s prompt measures reflect a commitment to maintaining security and order in the state, addressing a crucial aspect of immigration control amid the broader national security discourse.
