The Chhattisgarh government will launch a two‑month operation on November 15 to locate and verify illegal immigrants within the state, officials said.
The state administration announced that a systematic sweep to detect illegal immigrants will commence on 15 November and run for sixty days. Officials said teams of local police and district officials will conduct door‑to‑door verification, cross‑checking residency documents against central databases.
The drive is part of a broader effort to enforce existing immigration laws and address security concerns raised by the state government. Authorities will record the names of individuals who cannot produce valid proof of Indian citizenship and forward the list to the Ministry of Home Affairs for further action.
While the government has not disclosed the exact number of people targeted, it emphasized that the operation will respect legal procedures and human rights. Citizens are urged to cooperate with officials and provide accurate information during the verification process.
The initiative follows similar immigration checks carried out in other Indian states, reflecting a nationwide focus on tightening border management and internal security.
The Times of India reported that the drive will be monitored by senior officials to ensure transparency and adherence to due process.
