Immigration has decided to launch a major operation to tackle the problem of illegal immigrants.

The problem of illegal immigrants in Sri Lanka has increased. The previous government made a list to register and regularize them. A large number of foreigners were deported due to the outbreak. However, the problem was not adequately resolved.

Immigration said in a statement today that it has decided to launch operations to find an immediate solution to the problem of illegal foreigners living in Maldives.

The operations will check the identity and visas of the foreigners and try to bring them into the rules.

“During this special operation, we will continue to enforce immigration law against those who are working in the country illegally and those who are residing in the country without valid permits,” the statement said.

Immigration Controller Mohammed Sham'an Mohammed Vahid told that all the illegal foreigners will be deported in the operation
