The Jharkhand High Court has ordered the state government to take immediate action against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants entering through the Santhal Parganas, highlighting the potential rise in illegal immigration due to political instability in Bangladesh. A division bench, led by Acting Chief Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad, mandated the involvement of key officials including the Intelligence Bureau and the BSF to respond to the issue. The court suggested conducting inspections of Aadhaar and voter identity cards to identify illegal settlers and deter future entries. It emphasized the need for cooperation between state and Union governments to effectively tackle this problem. The court noted that the influx is disrupting the demographic structure of the tribal population in the area, posing a threat to national sovereignty. A follow-up hearing is scheduled for August 22.
