Arunachal Pradesh Strengthens Inner Line Permit System to Curb Illegal Entry

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has reinforced the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system to control illegal entry and protect indigenous tribes. In a key meeting with government officials and the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union, strategies to enhance the ILP system were discussed.

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Monday initiated steps to bolster the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system, which mandates non-Arunachalee individuals to obtain a permit to enter the state. The measure aims to curb illegal entry and prolonged stays by non-local migrants.

In a significant meeting in Itanagar with top government officials and leaders of the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU), Khandu highlighted the importance of protecting indigenous tribes from outside influx. He emphasized the state's commitment to this cause, noting the necessity of strengthening the ILP system.

AAPSU, led by President Dozi Tana Tara, presented a detailed survey through a PowerPoint presentation, outlining methods to fortify the current system. Khandu underscored the need for inputs from the state's premier students' organization to effectively implement these measures. (ANI)
