West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said in a fresh attack on the newly notified Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) that it is not desirable to have “concentration camps in Bengal like in Assam”. He said no. “CAA has links with NRC. That's why we are against it. We don't want concentration camps like Assam,” the Trinamool Congress chief was quoted as saying by PTI. According to an HT report, in 2009, the Assam state government issued a notice to jails to house people “declared foreigners” by courts until they are deported. These centers were established within prisons as a temporary measure until a permanent location could be built or housing could be found. Matia Transit Camp, the state's largest detention center, began operations in January last year. It is being built on a 28,800 sq ft site in Goalpara, around 130 km from the state capital Dispur.dig deeper
