Itanagar, Aug 20: Arunachal Pradesh Chief minister Pema Khandu on Monday stressed on strengthening the existing Inner Line Permit (ILP) system that makes it mandatory for any non-Arunachali to obtain a permit before entering the state.
Recently, a joint meeting with top government officials and leaders of the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) was held in Itanagar regarding this. During the meeting, Chief Minister Pema Khandu emphasised on the need to strengthen the ILP system to prevent illegal entry and prolonged stay of non-local migrants in the state.
“Our main objective is to protect our indigenous tribes from outside influx and we are committed to it,” he said.
The AAPPSU, headed by its president Dozi Tana Tara, through a PowerPoint presentation explained in detail a survey conducted by the organisation and ways and means to strengthen the present system.
The state police, during a recent drive, identified 155 people who had violated the ILP regulations in the state’s capital area. These people were detected from Ganga village, Chimpu, and Ganga market area of the capital region.
The ILP, under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873, is an official travel document that allows an Indian citizen to visit a state, where the system has been implemented, for a limited period and with a specific purpose.
