676 families are living in plastic tents in the no man’s land between India and Bangladesh.
In Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has intensified the campaign against Bangladeshi infiltrators under the ‘Three D Policy’ i.e. ‘Detect, Delete and Deport’. In June, 676 houses in Hasila Bill area of Goalpara district were demolished with just two days’ notice.
The government claims that these people were illegal immigrants settled on government land, but local citizens say that they are Indians, they have NRC of 1951 and documents before 1971.
Victim Sona Bano of Barpeta district says- I was left in no-man’s land (the area between India-Bangladesh) on May 25 along with 13 other people. She lived among insects and jokes for two days, then was sent to Bangladesh jail and later returned to India. I have always been in India, now I have to prove my citizenship.
At the same time, opposition leader Debabrata Saikia of Congress alleges that the BJP government has failed to send back Bangladeshis. Only 26 people were deported since 2016. The rest happened during the Congress government. Pushback is not legal. People either return or get stuck in Bangladesh jail.
676 families are living in plastic tents in the no man’s land between India and Bangladesh.
What arguments are being given by everyone from the government to the opposition?
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is bypassing the law in the name of ‘pushback policy’. Government records show that only 26 people were legally deported in the six years between 2017 and 2023, but the Chief Minister claims that in the last one month, 147 people have been pushed back (ie kept in no man’s land). Controversy over this policy arose when some Indian citizens from Delhi and Assam were mistakenly deported to Bangladesh, including a pregnant woman and children.
- CM Sarma, on 9th June In Assam Assembly…
Foreigners who came after 1971 and do not have a court case pending will be sent to Bangladesh without adjudication. District Commissioners will have the right to evict such people.

After presenting the figures in the House, the Chief Minister got exposed in the ‘Send back Bangladeshis’ campaign, hence he has adopted a pushback policy.
In June, 676 houses in Hasila Bill area of Goalpara district were demolished with just two days’ notice.
The victims living in no man’s land say…
Case-1:Abul Kalam (resident of Goalpara Camp 1) says – On June 14, the Goalpara administration put up a banner saying that the people of Hasila Bill live on government land for fish farming, vacate it. The entire settlement was demolished on 16-17 June. 6-7 of us went to the High Court on June 15, but the houses of those whose names were in the court were demolished first.
Case-2: Lalchand (mason, from among the uprooted families) said – All 676 of us families are living in Govindpur by wearing plastic. Since June, five people have died due to heat and dirt. Local people do not even give us work, fearing that their houses will be demolished.
Case-3: Arifa says- My brother had 93% marks in 10th, but he is gone, my house is gone. Don’t know what will happen. I was born here, but people call us Bangladeshi.
Case-4: Shad Ali (asthma patient, displaced) said – None of us is in a position to buy land somewhere else and build a house. We are citizens of India, if the government does not save us then how many days will we live at the mercy of others?

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had said on August 21 that Bengali Hindus from the state have not applied under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as they are confident that they are Indian citizens. There is no reason to consider Bengali Hindus as foreigners, because they had come here before 1971. Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had brought them in 1971 and had never said that they would be sent back. Read the full news…
