Court notes how people have been declared foreigners despite having documents
The Gauhati High Court has, in less than a month, picked holes in the orders of three Foreigners’ Tribunals (FTs) declaring as many people as foreigners.
The court found these orders to be erratic, incomplete or sent to the wrong address.
In November, the court noted with concern how Puspharani Dhar, a woman in her late 70s, was harassed since 2000 when an FT in western Assam’s Bongaigaon district served her a notice. She was declared a foreigner in 2017.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said that on the lines of the farmers’ protest that compelled the Centre to withdraw farm laws, a protest would be launched with like-minded political parties and organisations representing the poor to demand repeal of the new Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) and restoration of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Act (MGNREGA).
