In a meaningful crackdown, Delhi police have apprehended 38 Bangladeshi illegal migrants, including women and children. These individuals had previously resided in Haryana’s Nuh and bihar before making their way to the capital. Reports indicate that their attempts to settle in Bihar were thwarted due to a lack of job opportunities, prompting them to seek work in Delhi’s factories and live in unauthorized settlements.
The situation sheds light on the ongoing issue of illegal migration in India, notably from Bangladesh. Many migrants, driven by the hope of better livelihoods, often find themselves in precarious conditions. Just days prior to this incident, five other Bangladeshi nationals were arrested, three of whom were minors. This pattern of migration raises questions about the socio-economic factors pushing individuals to leave their homes and the challenges they face upon arrival in India. As authorities continue to address this complex issue, the plight of these migrants remains a poignant reminder of the human stories behind the statistics.
