Agartala, Tipra Motha Party MLA Ranjit Debbarma has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging him to detect, detain and deport illegal immigrants from Tripura.
Debbarma claimed that most of the illegal migrants have been going to several states and creating disturbances there after they entered India through the international border in Tripura.
The TMP legislator alleged that infiltrators are changing the demographic structure of the bordering state, creating unemployment and land-related problems, and indulging in cross-border crime.
Debbarma lauded the Centre for forming a high-powered committee on the infiltration issue, and termed it as a 'timely step to maintain law and order and internal security'.
He also sought to meet the union home minister during his proposed visit to the state on June 5.
