Trespassing from Bangladesh to Tripura becomes a regular practice. Demography of Tripura has been changed due to such illegal entry. Unfortunately, most of the illegal migrants have had successfully made Adhaar cards, Voter ID and other valid documents with the help of local channels and ofcourse concerned administrative heads in exchange of huge bribe. It is open secret. Central Government should take strict action against these channels and officials. Indigenous peoples and other minorities like Manipuri, Nepali etc. are getting more decreased in terms of minority. Officially the population of Tripura is around 38 lakhs. But non-officially it is not less than 63 lakhs.
