Bareilly, 6 Dec (HS): The

administration swung into action on Saturday morning after receiving

information about the illegal presence of Rohingya and Bangladeshi nationals in

the district. A joint police and administration team conducted a large-scale

search operation on the Pilibhit bypass road in the Baradari police station

area. Significantly, the operation was led not by a subordinate officer but by

District Magistrate Avinash Singh and SSP Anurag Arya themselves. City

Superintendent of Police Manush Pareekh was also present at the scene with the

teams.

During

the operation, which began at 7 a.m., a convoy of officers visited slums,

temporary shelters, shops, and construction sites along the Pilibhit bypass.

Conducted in collaboration with Intelligence, ATS, and several police units,

suspects were identified and questioned. Several people were detained and taken

to the police station for lack of documents.

District

Magistrate Avinash Singh stated clearly that those living illegally in the

district will not be spared. SSP Anurag Arya stated that the purpose of this

exercise is to strengthen the security system and prevent suspicious

activities. The campaign certainly created panic in the area, but most locals

welcomed it. Officials said the crackdown will continue.
