Bengal govt orders 'holding centres' for illegal migrants

West Bengal authorities are establishing holding centres for foreigners apprehended for illegal stay. This move follows a policy announcement to detect, delete, and deport illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. The state government is instructing district magistrates to follow central guidelines for the deportation process. The aim is to ensure Indian nationals remain in Bengal while non-Indians are repatriated.
