The city is set to get a new detention facility at Bhoiwada, Dadar, where illegal immigrants can be held until their repatriation.
According to top officers in Mumbai Police, the Maharashtra government has approved their proposal for a detention centre. The Public Works Department (PWD) has been handed the charge of constructing the detention centre building. The land next to Bhoiwada Court at Dadar (East) has been picked as the location of the centre, with an estimated project cost of Rs5 crore.
“The opening of the detention centre will be crucial. Currently, illegal migrants are held in police stations, under the eye of the Anti-Terrorism Cell, but it’s a challenge because of the fear of their escaping custody,” said an officer.
