Authorities in Tripura have decided to repatriate five Bangladeshi labourers who were recently detained in the Gomati district.

According to a senior police officer, the individuals were involved in construction and furniture work and had entered Indian territory days earlier. A routine check led to their detention.

The BSF is set to engage with its Bangladeshi counterparts to facilitate their return, a policy shift from the past where such entries were met with immediate arrests.
