Assam Government instructs border police to refrain from forwarding cases of non-Muslim illegal immigrants who entered the state before 2015 to Foreigners Tribunal. These individuals should apply for citizenship under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. The directive issued on July 5 specifies that Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Parsi, Jain, and Christian immigrants who arrived before December 31, 2014, should not be sent to the Foreigners Tribunal but instead apply on the citizenship portal.
