refugee problem would be solved when they would go back to their country, Myanmar, at the earliest otherwise the problem would remain for India and other countries,” he said. “We are
regularly nabbing the Rohingyas at the border, escaping from the Cox’s Bazar camps. There are Rohingya settlements as well. They also have UNHCR cards. They always try to get inside… To meet

occasionally caught in different parts of the country by the state security forces. “Both BSF and BGB are committed to stop their infiltration and exfiltration and we are taking action not
only against the Rohingyas, but also against all illegal trespassers,” the BSF chief said. In the Border Coordination Conference (BCC) BSF chief Asthana led the 12-member delegation while
the 11-member BGB team was headed by Islam. The DG level meeting or the BCC between the BSF and BGB was held first time outside the national capital. Rohingyas from refugee camps in
southeastern Bangladesh often enter into the northeastern states of India illegally in search of jobs or get trapped in human trafficking. According to the security officials, at least 35
Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar, including women and children, have been detained in the past one month for illegally entering into Northeast India.
