00:09How many people are living illegally?

00:11It's not illegal because of visa and passports,

00:14but for 6 months, 5 months, 2 months and 15 months,

00:17we have been working on the verification here,

00:20that if there is an LTV, we will keep the LTV,

00:23and if there is not going to be a wrong way, we will go out.

00:28So, we will do the procession,

00:31which will remain in the wrong way.

00:35So, we will say to the police,

00:37and we will go out.

00:38Do you know who people are illegally living here?

00:43The visa has expired?

00:45It's illegal because there is no visa or passport,

00:48but there is no time for some people who are living here,

00:51they will not apply to LTV.

00:54Now, we are applying for LTV,

00:57and there is a lot of fear and fear,

01:25That's the situation of Hindu people.

01:26Because of them,

01:27we still don't want to go back.

01:29If we don't want to have a wrong job.

01:32If we don't want to go back,

01:33then we go back again.

01:35But we will not do the same job.
