The affected individuals are Md Tajuddin, son of Md Abdul Kalam, a resident of Lengri village, who was declared a foreigner by the FT Court vide FT Case No 144/2009 (Reference Case No 200/2008 from SSP (B), Karbi Anglong); Md Khurshed Ali, son of Late Jubed Ali, a resident of Dodo Colony, declared a foreigner vide FT Case No 239/2008 (Reference Case No 288/2007); and Md Amir Hussain, son of Late Nur Islam, a resident of Tila Basti, declared a foreigner vide FT Case No 147/2009 (Reference Case No 229/2008). All three declared foreigners fall under Khatkhati Police Station.

Citing Section 2 of the Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act, 1950, the orders state that their presence in India/Assam is detrimental to the interests of the general public and the internal security of the state. They have been instructed to exit through the Dhubri, Sribhumi (Karimganj) or South Salmara-Mankachar routes, which are bordering areas.

In case of non-compliance, the government has warned that appropriate action will be taken to enforce their removal under the Act.

Copies of the orders have been sent to relevant authorities, including the Senior Superintendent of Police, Karbi Anglong, for execution and compliance reporting; the Additional Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) for confiscation of any movable or immovable property in favour of the government; Electoral Registration Officers to delete their names from voter lists; the Supply Department to cancel ration cards; UIDAI to cancel or freeze Aadhaar cards and all district department heads to exclude them from government social security schemes and grants.

The action aligns with the Assam government’s ongoing implementation of Foreigners’ Tribunal verdicts to address declared illegal immigrants, particularly in districts like Karbi Anglong. Similar expulsion orders under the same Act have been reported in the district in recent weeks, reflecting continued enforcement efforts.
