Source: Outlook India
The Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) administration placed 168 Rohingyas illegally residing in Jammu in Hiranagar sub-jail in Kathua under the Foreigners Act.
One of the notifications from the Home Department on Friday directed to establish holding centres with capacity of 250 people under section 3(2)e of the Foreigners Act.
Thereafter, the procedure to deport these individuals will kick off. The refugees were brought to the sub-jail from Jammu in buses. The sub-jail was formed a week ago to detain Rohingyas who are staying illegally in the country.
Moreover, every prisoner and undertrials lodged there were shifted to other jails prior to this process. A senior police official reportedly told that all the concerned refugees were living in Jammu and Kashmir without any valid documents to their name.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
