Assam to release 56 foreigners kept in detention

Shawdesh Desk:

Assam government will release 56 among 300 foreigners, staying in the state detention centres for more than three years.

The Assam Police announced on Tuesday the release of 56 foreigners.

The 56 foreigners belong to 11 districts of the state. The superintendents of police (SP) have been instructed to complete the formalities, said Mukul Saikia, superintendent of police, Border Organisation of the Assam Police, reports Hindustan Times.

In May, the Supreme Court of India ordered that illegal foreigners in Assam who have completed more than three years in detention may be released after they provide biometric details in a database.

The addresses of detainees were verified and provided sureties for their release, said a Border Organisation official, adding that some applications were pending and will be expedited.
