Meghalaya High Court Orders Transfer of Foreign Nationals to Detention Centre
The Meghalaya High Court has directed the state government to transfer around 30 foreign nationals who have completed their prison sentences but remain in custody to a temporary detention centre by September 28. The government designated the MBOSE Hostel in Shillong as the facility after rejecting an earlier proposal for a building in Nongstoin. The centre will have adequate security, medical staff, CCTV, and fire safety measures. Deportation orders have been issued in some cases, with repatriation efforts ongoing.
