New Delhi, May 31 -- Union home minister Amit Shah has directed the district magistrates to monitor and report on demographic changes occurring in border districts, a government release issued on Saturday quoted Shah as saying, adding that he also directed setting up of Security Coordination Groups in every border district. Shah, who held a meeting with state government officials, BSF, district magistrates (DMs) and police chiefs of the border districts in Gujarat on Saturday, also stated that administrations of border districts should formulate SOPs to ensure identification of existing infiltrators and the tracking of threats related to drones and narcotics, the release added. District Magistrates must strictly monitor and regularly report on demographic changes occurring in border districts, the release said. "The HM said that in the border districts, the effective enforcement of Income Tax, anti-money laundering, and Customs laws should rest with the District Magistrate (DM), Superintendent of Police (SP) and Inspector General (IG), Border Range," the release said. It added that the Security Coordination Groups would comprise the BSF, Coast Guard, Income Tax Department, Enforcement Directorate and the managers of leading banks in the area. This is the first time that such a group of officials from different wings of the government is being established. Earlier this week, the home minister had announced the formation of a high-level committee to assess demographic changes across India due to "illegal immigration and other unnatural causes" and suggest measures to deal with the issue. Shah is currently touring the western frontier along the India-Pakistan border, where he has been interacting with BSF personnel and chairing security review meetings. "The HM is likely to reach West Bengal on June 15 and stay for a few days... He will visit some of the districts among the nine districts where fencing work has resumed," an official aware of the matter said, adding that he may hold meetings with the chief secretaries of West Bengal, Assam and Tripura to discuss efforts to tackle infiltration, identify and counter attempts to alter the demographic composition....
