Uttar Pradesh Launches Tech-Driven Plan to Track 'Infiltrators' With Biometric Negative List

Officials say a nationwide database will be used to block Aadhaar enrollment to stop re-entry.

Overview

  • The state says it has begun implementing a framework that compiles fingerprints, facial data, and other identifiers for those labeled as infiltrators.
  • A national negative list will be shared with other states and central agencies to block new IDs, including Aadhaar, and to prevent re-entry.
  • Systems being readied aim to detect forged documents, analyze residence patterns, and uncover networks behind fake papers.
  • Detention centers are being reinforced with multi-layered access control, surveillance grids, and 24/7 monitoring, authorities say.
  • Officials describe the blueprint as a potential national model, while an intensive verification drive is underway to identify and send back illegal immigrants, including Rohingyas and Bangladeshis.
