Bengal's SIR Exercise Sparks Border Exodus 🚶‍♂️

This India Today special report, anchored by Akshita Nandagopal, covers a mass exodus of undocumented immigrants at the India-Bangladesh border in West Bengal's Bashirhat region. Hundreds have gathered at the Hakimpur check post attempting to return to Bangladesh, driven by fears surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists, although authorities have not confirmed any specific drive against them. Reporter Tapas Sen Gupta states, 'that they had en- entered, um, India illegally with help of some touts and brokers. And that's how they settled back here in, uh, India, oh, for years'. The report highlights the panic and reverse migration, with many admitting they had been living and working in India illegally for several years.
