Four Bangladesh nationals were sent back after they were apprehended in Assam’s Karimganj district on Sunday while allegedly entering India illegally, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

Lauding the state police, Sarma said their alertness along the border would continue to ensure a safe and secure Assam.

“In the wee hours, @assampolice managed to apprehend four illegal Bangladeshi nationals in Karimganj and pushed them back to Bangladesh,” he posted on X.

Around 100 people have so far been apprehended in the state for illegally entering the country following turmoil in Bangladesh, and sent back, officials said. Meanwhile, written examination for recruitment to Grade-III posts of Assam Government were conducted across the state amid elaborate arrangements and an eight-hour mobile Internet suspension.
