New Delhi: Seven Rohingya immigrants, who have been staying in Assam illegally, will be deported to their home country Myanmar Thursday, officials said in New Delhi.

This is for the first time Rohingya immigrants would be sent back to Myanmar from India.

Seven Rohingya immigrants will be handed over to Myanmar authorities at Moreh border post in Manipur Thursday, a home ministry official said.

The illegal immigrants have been staying at a detention centre in Silchar, Assam, since 2012, when they were detained by police.

Consular access had been given to Myanmar diplomats, who confirmed the identity of the immigrants, the official said.

Another official said the confirmation of the citizenship of  Myanmar  of the illegal immigrants came after the government of the neighbouring country verified their addresses in Rakhine State.

The Indian government told Parliament last year that more than 14,000 Rohingya people, registered with the UN refugee agency UNHCR, stay in India. (Agencies)
