Considering the negative impacts of demographic changes in some parts of the state, the State administration has directed the director general of police, district magistrates and senior superintendents of police to take precautionary measures.
According to official sources, demographic changes are being seen due to major population growth in some specific areas of the state. The migration of the people of some communities from such areas is being seen as a negative impact on such demographic changes. In addition to this, there is the possibility of communal harmony being disturbed in such areas.
Expressing concern at this situation, the state administration has directed the DGP, all district magistrates and senior superintendents of police to take precautionary measures to address the issue. The DGP, all district magistrates and SSPs have been directed that a district level committee should be formed in each district. This committee will give its recommendations for resolving the problem. Further, peace committees should also be formed in such areas and the meeting of such committees should be held from time to time. Such types of areas in the districts should be identified and strict action should be taken against anti-social elements.
The officials have also been directed to prepare a district-wise list of people who have come from other states and are living here, and have a criminal history. Verifying their profession and place of domicile, a record of such people should be prepared. The district magistrates have also been directed to keep a special watch on illegal land deals in such areas. Clamping down on such activities, it should also be ensured that no person is selling his or her property out of fear or under pressure. Further, strict action should be taken against such foreigners who are living in the district and have secured Indian voter card or identification card by fraud. A record of such people should be made and action should be taken against them as per the rules, the administration has directed.
