Prayagraj: Social activist Engineer Mohammad Farrukh Naseer resident of Mohalla Karamat Ki Chowki, Police Station Kareli, District Prayagraj has shot off a letter to district magistrate claiming, “Hundreds of people, possibly Bangladeshis, who have come from outside, have been living in slums around their homes for a long time. Apparently, all of these people work as scrap pickers, but most of them commit crimes like theft, smuggling, drug abuse, etc. Complaints have been made to the local administration several times against all these illegal occupants, but despite much insistence, the administration merely does the formality and leaves.”
It is noteworthy that despite clear orders from the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, the local administration has not obtained any information regarding their citizenship. Through collusion, thousands of illegal immigrants continue to live openly in this area.
On March 8, 2026, a group of people intoxicated by drug addicts set junk on fire in a cluster of slums behind Murga Bazaar, causing the walls of three nearby houses to crack. CCTV cameras and other materials were destroyed. The fire was somehow extinguished by watering the houses with pumps. However, these people are now rebuilding their slums at the same site. Despite being illegal, these anti-social and illegal Bangladeshis are again occupying land due to local support. Threatening to kill, committing crimes, and insulting people is their daily routine. (The Bangladeshi slums are located approximately 1 km from Marhaba Guest House to Murga Darbar Shia Mosque). In this situation, Engineer Mohammad Farrukh Naseer has requested DM to get this entire matter investigated at a high level and immediately expel the illegal Bangladeshis from India.
Engineer Mohammad Farooq Naseer sent multiple letters to the district government, but no action has been taken so far. All police officers are asked that the investigation and action against individuals who offer refuge to Bangladeshis living in slums in the Kareli police station area be continued at all costs. This is a menace to society and the nation. People in the Kareli Karamat chowki neighborhood are on the edge of death as a result of garbage accumulation. These cottages are where every crime takes place. What’s striking is that these slums are only growing in Muslim-dominated communities. There must be someone providing sanctuary for these Bangladeshi infiltrators since the garbage has caused several fires, the walls of adjoining houses have burst, and the house owners have suffered financial losses as a result. Thousands of rupees in goods were damaged and dwellings were burned, but unexpectedly, no action was taken against any Bangladeshi infiltrator or slum resident, he bemoaned during a free-wheeling post-fire conversation with media.
