YOU WONT BELIEVE: Assam deported 3 100 foreigners since 2001 says sarma - You Need To See This

GUWAHATI

A total of 3,100 people declared and convicted as foreigners by tribunals in Assam have been deported since 2001, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma told the 126-member State Assembly on Monday. 

A total of 224 such non-citizens — 154 males and 70 females — are currently being housed at a ‘transit camp’ at Matia in western Assam’s Goalpara district. This transit camp was opened on January 27 after the people declared non-citizens by Foreigners’ Tribunals (FTs) or quasi-judicial courts were shifted from six central jails across the State.
