Delhi Lieutenant Governor’s secretariat has written to the Chief Secretary and Police Commissioner asking for initiating “strict action” against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants residing in the National Capital. According to Raj Niwas officials, the LG Secretariat has asked the Chief Secretary and the Police Commissioner to launch a special drive spanning over two months to identify illegal Bangladesh immigrants in Delhi and take strict action as per the extant rules in a time-bound manner.
The move comes in wake of the representation made by the delegation of Ulemas and Muslim leaders from Dargah Hazrat Nizamuddin and Basti Hazrat Nizamuddin to Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Saturday. They had expressed deep concern about the attacks being undertaken on the Hindu and other minority communities in Bangladesh and accordingly, demanded stringent action against Bangladeshi infiltrators residing in the National Capital.
