Response of BSF
BSF Dhubri sector have said that they have raised the demand for
an additional Battalion as there is inadequacy of effective ground
personnel. As far as the response of the State Government is
concerned, as regards the case for full fledged river Police Battalion
made by the S.P. Dhubri in presentation in the first inspection and
accordingly suggested in the report of 05.06.2015, no response is
forthcoming on this issue from the State Government.

Issues (ix), (x) & (xi) are interrelated and arise out of the manner in
which illegal migrants entrench themselves in the State, acquiring
citizenship rights and concomitant benefits and in the report of
05.06.2015 (Pg. 51 to 54) and 29.06.2015 (Pg.6 to 7) this issue has
been dealt with. The said issues are extracted herein below:

12. The primary reason for which illegal migration occurs is hunger
for land, the population density of Bangladesh, subject of
perennial floods is 1222 (2014) per square ki8lometer and the
population density of Assam is 397 (2011) as opposed to 382
per square kilometre for the rest of the country. If the migrant
can be deprived of land it will be an effective deterrent to any
migrant for any further migration or for existing illegal migrants
to go back to Bangladesh through the porous border. It is
therefore proposed as follows:a. There should be a restriction in transfer of land, whether
by way of sale, purchase, gift or any other such
transaction or by way of allotment from government or
any other agency only to those who have been citizens of
India in 1951 and their descendants in 1951. The
benchmark date can be the date of publication of the
National Register of Citizens in Assam in 1951. In other
North Easter States land transfer is restricted only to
those belonging to the state for protection from outsiders.
In Assam, threat is not from Indian Citizens but from
Migrants from Bangladesh.
While the existing tribal belts in Assam have restrictions
on transfer of land to non tribals, excepting those non
tribals who were residents in such tribal belts/ block at
the time of their constitution, this protection is not
