Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced a new policy to deport individuals declared 'illegal foreigners' by tribunals within seven days of the order. This measure aims to expedite the expulsion process, preventing appeals to higher courts. Sarma stated that nearly 2,000 illegal foreigners have already been sent back in recent months, and this policy is part of a broader effort to reduce illegal entries into Assam. The state currently operates 100 foreigners' tribunals to adjudicate immigration status.
