Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday directed police chiefs across the country to detect and deport illegal migrants as part of a broader push against infiltration.
Speaking at the 9th National Security Strategies Conference, Shah said security agencies must act decisively. The conference brought together senior officers to review internal security priorities, including cross-border threats, cyber risks and communal tensions.
The instruction comes amid ongoing efforts in several states to identify individuals without valid documentation. Deportation processes remain complex and often involve coordination with neighbouring countries and the courts.
Officials present at the meeting discussed operational challenges, intelligence sharing and the use of technology to track illegal movement. No specific numerical targets were announced publicly.
The conference is an annual platform for the Home Ministry to align state and central agencies on emerging threats. This year’s agenda also covered coastal security, left-wing extremism and the protection of critical infrastructure.
