India's federal government has introduced a new deportation policy directing all states to establish district-level task forces dedicated to detecting, identifying, and deporting undocumented migrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar. States have been instructed to operationalise secure holding centres (detention facilities) enclosed by ten-foot-high barbed-wire boundaries to confine migrants until their removal is processed. The policy, formulated by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, also requires states to submit monthly reports on foreigners who are missing or overstaying their visas, signalling a significant tightening of India's enforcement of immigration laws.
