A significant increase in undocumented Bangladeshi nationals returning to their country has been observed at the Hakimpur border in West Bengal, attributed to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Many individuals, fearing scrutiny of their fraudulent documents, have opted for departure rather than potential detention, with reports indicating 150-200 people are being processed daily. This reverse migration, which began after the SIR commenced on November 4, highlights the tense political landscape surrounding the electoral verification process, as accusations of political maneuvering between the BJP and the ruling TMC escalate. The situation underscores the broader implications of migration policies and their impact on vulnerable communities caught in a complex socio-political web.
