The Seemanchal (border) districts of northeastern Bihar are said to witness an influx of illegal immigrants. Kishanganj is reported to have the maximum number of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh through West Bengal and Nepal.
During unrest in neighbouring Bangladesh after widespread student protests against the former Shaikh Hasina government, India sounded an alert to man the borders for potential immigrant influx. Meanwhile, an independent MP from Bihar’s Purnia urged India to show a large heart to display its diplomatic and strategic power in south Asia, akin to what former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had shown to the world in 1971.
