On 14th November, the authorities in Assam successfully drove back 6 Bangladeshis and 10 Rohingyas via Gate 39 along the India-Bangladesh border, at around 12:30 am, in an efficient night-time operation intended to strengthen border security. The synchronised action, according to officials, was a part of the state’s stepped-up efforts to prevent unauthorised immigrants from staying on Assamese soil as well as to stop unlawful infiltration.
Chief Minsiter Himanta Biswa Sarma also lauded the firm action as “clean and precise” on social media. “Another smooth operation! Six Bangladesh nationals and ten Rohingyas safely sent back through Gate 39 at 00:30 hrs, as clean and precise as a Mission Impossible scene. Assam’s borders stay secure, our team stays vigilant, and no multiverse anomaly detected,” he remarked.

An official informed, “Preventing illegal infiltration remains a top priority. Our teams are alert 24×7,” reported NorthEast Now. The intruders were identified during routine checks in key areas of Lower Assam earlier this week, according to the authorities. They were taken to the appropriate border gate in collaboration with the Border Security Force (BSF) for official repatriation following verification and procedural documentation.
According to senior officials, the state has improved night patrols, technology-backed monitoring and interagency coordination, among other surveillance techniques in recent months. Additionally, the administration emphasised that ensuring national security and demographic stability in the area requires effective border management.
Earlier this month, the state police turned away sixteen illegal migrants from Bangladesh who had entered Assam with “nefarious intentions.” Police sources reported that they entered Assam under suspicious motives after crossing the international boundary through an unfenced section, according to India Today NE. The authorities launched an operation based on intelligence and drove all 16 people out of a border-adjacent location.
The group had entered the state without proper travel documents, based on preliminary investigation. They could have been a part of a broader network involved in cross-border infiltration. The people were pushed back and attempts were underway to identify the facilitators and their path. Officials have reaffirmed that Assam’s security agencies are on guard to foil any attempt to disrupt the state’s peace and demographic stability.
