Amid growing concern over rising infiltration and “unnatural changes” in border areas, the Centre on Tuesday announced the setting up of a high-level committee on demographic change, which will be led by Justice (Retd) Prakash Prabhakar Nawalkar. Home Minister Amit Shah announced this in a post on X, elaborating that the Centre has taken the decision to form the panel after Prime Minister Narendra Modi had, on August 15 last year, announced that such a committee would be formed. The committee will comprise the Census Commissioner and retired IAS officer Durga Shankar Mishra, retired IPS officer Balaji Srivastava and economist Shamika Ravi.
