The state Home Department of Manipur recently announced the commencement of a campaign to capture biometric data of illegal immigrants from Myanmar. This campaign will be launched on July 29th and is a direct response to the Ministry of Home Affairs' directive to complete the biometric data capture of illegal migrants in Manipur by the end of September 2023.
In preparation for the campaign, the Manipur Home Department held a training and handholding program for District Commissioners and Superintendents of Police on July 26th. The Superintendents of Police in the districts were urged to promptly initiate the campaign to ensure completion by September.
The National Crime Records Bureau team, which was sent by the MHA to provide assistance and guidance during the biometric capture exercise, will begin at the Foreigners' Detention Centre in Sajiwa, Imphal, East district, starting from 10.00 AM on July 29th. The Joint Secretary also suggested that districts in need of further training and handholding may send their concerned officers to observe the biometric capturing process at the Foreigners' Detention Centre.
The biometric capturing campaign is an important step to ensure the safety of Manipur's citizens. Opposition MPs of the India Bloc are currently in Manipur to assess the ground situation and to support the Home Department in this endeavor.
