Railway Protection Force (RPF) has successfully apprehended 586 Bangladeshi nationals and 318 Rohingya during the last four years. The illegal migrants continue to infiltrate India, using Assam as a transit route and railways as their preferred mode of travel to reach other parts of the country.
The Railways Ministry said RPF is collaborating with the Border Security Force, local police, and intelligence units to secure railway networks against illegal infiltration. The Ministry said this inter-agency approach has significantly enhanced operational efficiency, enabling swift identification and detention of individuals involved in illegal migration.
