'No report of influx of illegal Bangladeshis'

Nagaland deputy CM Y Patton on Thursday told the state assembly that there is no report of influx of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants following the political crisis in the neighbouring country. Patton said this while responding to NPF MLA Achumbemo Kikon raising concern in the zero hour of state assembly on possible influx following the political crisis in Bangladesh.

Kikon said the northeast region which shares international border with Bangladesh is the most vulnerable and expressed fear of illegal immigrants entering Nagaland through other states. In this, he sought the measures adopted by the state government to curb the influx of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
