India's first and largest detention center for illegal immigrants
Assam Detention Camp is a group of immigration detention centers for illegal immigrants located in Assam.[1][2][3] The first detention centre in the state had come up in 2008 under orders of the Gauhati High Court.[4] Currently six immigration detention centres have been set up in Assam, all inside jails, in various districts of the state.[4]
A total of ten centres are planned to be built in Assam.[1][5] There are many in-construction or proposed detention centres to be constructed following the exclusion of people from the final National Register of Citizens of India.[6][7] In 2014, the Centre had told all the states to set up at least one detention centre for illegal immigrants so as not to mix them up with jail inmates. According to a ruling by the Supreme Court, illegal immigrants can be held for three years at such facilities, after which they are eligible for bail.[8]
The detention centers are commissioned as a place to house erstwhile residents who were excluded in NRC and finally declared illegal immigrants by the foreign tribunals of Assam.[9][10][11] More than 19 lakh people have not been included into the list of citizens created to identify the illegal immigrants in Assam. These people need to prove their citizenship failing which they may be moved to these centres.[1]
