Hence, by keeping this in highlight, “schools must ensure strict procedures for admission, verification of students’ documentation to prevent illegal Bangladeshi migrants’ registrations, and execution of greater regulations to detect and prevent unauthorized admission of illegal Bangladeshi migrants in particular,”

“All the heads of government, government-aided, and unaided recognized private schools of DoE are directed to ensure that when permitting migrant children into schools, it is essential to follow a detailed, careful process to ensure that all required documentation has been provided, verified, and handled properly.”.

They further advised that in case of any indecision or doubt, the case must be referred to the local police and revenue department. Schools have been instructed to submit a weekly report.

On Saturday, Harsh Malhotra, the Union Mos, allegedly claimed that “The Aam Aadmi Party is giving endorsement to Bangladeshi migrants just for the purpose of gaining votes. Now when the people of Delhi have become aware of it, they are raising this issue,” Malhotra shared with ANI.
