Tamil Nadu Transfers 50 Bangladeshi Nationals to West Bengal for Deportation

Tamil Nadu has transferred 50 Bangladeshi nationals to West Bengal for deportation, according to officials. The individuals were handed over to West Bengal authorities for further processing and repatriation to Bangladesh.

The transfer was part of ongoing efforts to identify and deport foreign nationals residing illegally in India. The 50 individuals were reportedly detained in Tamil Nadu before being moved to West Bengal, which shares a border with Bangladesh.

Authorities in Tamil Nadu coordinated with their counterparts in West Bengal to facilitate the transfer. The process follows standard procedures for deportation of foreign nationals found to be staying without valid documents.

The move underscores the collaboration between state governments in handling immigration enforcement. Further details on the timeline of deportation were not immediately available.
