Assam Orders Three Declared Foreigners to Leave India Within 24 Hours

Overview

• Expulsion orders were issued on February 2 under Section 2 of the Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act, 1950, and were served on February 7 with a 24-hour compliance window from receipt.
• The individuals are identified as Md Fakruddin of the Bokajan area and Md Rafiqul Ali and Md Faizul Haque of the Manja area.
• The directives require exit from Assam and India via Dhubri, Sribhumi, or South Salmara-Mankachar, which are districts along the Bangladesh border.
• District departments were told to confiscate movable and immovable property, delete the names from electoral rolls, cancel ration cards, and freeze or cancel Aadhaar, with removal from welfare schemes also instructed.
• The orders state that failure to comply will prompt 'appropriate action,' reflecting a statewide push since mid-2025 to enforce FT rulings using the 1950 Act.
