The government-appointed committee on demographic changes on Wednesday launched a web portal to receive inputs from citizens on unnatural demographic changes, their causes, and the factors underlying these changes.
“The portal allows Central Ministries/Departments, state/UT governments, NGOs/Institutions, and individuals to provide inputs on unnatural demographic changes, their causes, and the factors underlying these changes.
These inputs will help the Committee analyze and identify the causes of demographic changes and recommend a streamlined system for legal, fair, and timely identification, detention, and deportation of illegal immigrants,” a PIB statement from the home ministry said. The PIB statement said that the portal facilitates people to provide inputs/data/information on unnatural demographic changes, their causes and factors underlying these changes, abnormal settlement patterns, etc. “These inputs will help the committee to analyse and identify the reasons for demographic changes and recommend a streamlined and permanent operational system for legal, fair and timely identification, detention and deportation of illegal immigrants residing in the country,” the statement said.
“The Committee will analyse the patterns of abnormal population changes at the level of religious and social communities and will present a well-planned and time-bound solution to address the issue. The Committee will submit its report within one year, if necessary, the tenure of the Committee may be extended by up to six months,” the government had said on May 26.
