Jiribam, September 01 2012: Following intensified vigilance against influx of illegal migrants, 60 people coming from Assam to Manipur were intercepted and made to turn back as they did not have valid documents.

On the other hand, many people who speak neither Manipuri nor any of the local tribal dialects have been detected in many areas of Jiribam sub-division.

Today's anti-immigration exercise was orchestrated by Foreigner Check Post (FCP) OCs Md Tajuddin Khan and Y Muhindro.

As a result of the strict vigilance put up by police against illegal migrants, the frequency and volume of Jiribam-Imphal transport service have dwindled considerably.

OC Md Tajuddin Khan said that all the people entering Jiribam from Assam were verified by a police team including himself as a routine exercise.

Those who did not have valid documents and identity cards were politely told to turn back and they numbered around 60 .

Between January and August this year, around 29 foreigners visited Manipur through Jiribam with valid documents in legal manner.

Those visitors were from Bangladesh, USA, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Finland, Austria, Hungary, Great Britain, France, Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, Spain and Israel.

On the other, some data entry operators who are engaged in the ongoing socio-economic and caste census in Jiribam sub-division, said on condition of anonymity that they came across many people who did not speak Manipuri nor any of the local tribal dialects.

These people did not possess any document to prove their nationality and most of them likely to be migrants from Bangladesh were found at Kashimpur, Sonapur, Ahmadabad, Binsiliu, Aglapur, Lalpani and Barak Circle of Jiribam.

They also urged the authority to verify the nationality of these people before it is too late.

The ongoing socio-economic and caste census is being carried out under the Ministry of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India.
