The entire North Eastern region is experiencing a demographic change due to ever increasing illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, AVP president Pratik Potom said.

The state governments and many social organizations are keen to ensure the safety and security of the people of North East, he said and appealed to the panic stricken youngsters to return to their respective place of study and jobs in those cities as soon as normalcy returns.
