NEW DELHI, INDIA, April 27, 2001 : At the current rate, it would take no less than 300 years to clear the New Delhi of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. There is a provision which says that the cops have to keep a constant tab on the population of Bangladeshi nationals. However, the police hardly ever take this task seriously and the “nil” report is forwarded to Ministry of Home Affairs. With the current population of around 16 lakh Bangladeshis, it will need a super-human effort from all the concerned agencies to clear the Capital of foreigners. “There are so many legal wrangles and procedures involved in deporting a foreigner from the Indian soil. It will take more than 300 years,” a senior police official said.
