The meeting, to be attended by Principal Secretaries (Home) of the states, will also take note of "alarming" development of Rohingya Muslims marrying Indian girls, especially in Jammu and Kashmir, a government official told PTI here today.
According to an initial estimate, there are around 1.3 lakh Rohingyas, mostly settled in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh (mainly Hyderabad), Kerala, Assam, Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi.
The meeting with top Home department officials of seven states comes nearly a month after Deputy National Security Advisor Arvind Gupta held discussions on the issue with senior officials of the Home Department and central law enforcement agencies.
Rohingya Muslims have been infiltrating into India through the porous Indo-Bangladesh border and most of them have secured identity cards given to refugees and asylum seekers by UN Refugee agency UNHCR, making it difficult for authorities to deport them immediately even if caught.
"That Kashmiri man told officials that Rohingya Muslims are increasingly settling in Jammu and Kashmir and even marrying Kashmiri girls, which is an alarming development," the official said.
