Increase in migrant influx due to 'collapse' of Bangladesh textile sector: Assam CM

“Every day, Assam Police are detecting 20 to 30 infiltrators and equal numbers are also being witnessed in Tripura,” Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said. Bangladesh's textile industry collapsed after the unrest. Sarma claimed that the workers employed in the industry are trying to cross the border and factory owners in India “are incentivising this, giving a good amount of money for importing cheap labour illegally”.
