The Chief Minister stated that the security, social balance, and smooth law and order situation in the state are the government’s top priorities. In this regard, all urban local bodies have been instructed to prepare a list of Rohingya and Bangladeshi immigrants residing illegally in the state.

He said that clearing unauthorised encroachments on public institutions was necessary, and the benefits of government schemes would only be given to the citizens of the state.

He informed that a special campaign is being conducted to identify illegal immigrants. The process of sending identified individuals to detention centres has begun, and special centres are being established in each division for this purpose.

The CM appealed to the people of the state to remain vigilant and to verify the identity of any person before employing them in their homes or business establishments. He said that the security of the state is a collective responsibility, as security is the foundation of prosperity.

At the end of the letter, the Chief Minister assured that the government is taking every necessary step to maintain law and order in the state.
