Nagaland follows Arunachal, pushes migrants into Assam
>From A Correspondent
 JORHAT, July 18 — The situation has turned tense in the railway township of Mariani in the aftermath of the influx of large groups of suspected Bangladeshi nationals which has been on since Tuesday. These suspected illegal immigrants have been pushed into Assam by the Nagas in Mokokchung district of Nagaland. 

Sources said that hordes of these Bangladeshi labourers fled in a Guwahati-bound train yesterday itself. However, as many as 21 of them have been detained at the Mariani police station. Their interrogation is on. There were reports of more such incidents of infiltration today. 

Meanwhile, the Jorhat District Students’ Union has asked the State Government to instruct the district administration to take immediate steps to identify these suspected nationals and deport them if their foreign antecedents are established. The district administration should take care to herd these suspected Bangladeshis together so that they do not get scattered, JDSU president Biren Saikia said. The student leader warned that the AASU unit would be forced to start a strong agitation if such incidents recur. 

President of Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba-Chatra Parishad Putul Dutta has asked the State Government to clarify its stand on the identity of the Bangladeshi infiltrators who have been pushed into Assam by the neighbouring States.
