The state government, reportedly, made various arrangements in such holding centres. There are multiple ceiling fans in each room. The menu includes fish, meat, and eggs along with rice and local wheat bread. The children are given milk four times a day along with baby food. They are also given new clothes, perfumed soap for bathing, and shampoo.

The directive of the West Bengal government says that the process of sending back Bangladeshis or Rohingyas who have been caught illegally residing in this state is being started, for which holding centres will be set up in all districts of the state.
