Efforts to Fortify Arunachal Pradesh's Inner Line Permit System

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has initiated efforts to bolster the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system, which regulates entry into the state. In a joint meeting with officials and All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) leaders, measures to improve the ILP system were discussed to curb illegal entry and protect indigenous tribes.

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has launched initiatives to enhance the state's existing Inner Line Permit (ILP) system, which mandates non-Arunachalee citizens to secure a permit for entry.

In a joint meeting with government officials and leaders of the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU), Khandu underscored the critical need to reinforce the ILP system. AAPSU presented a detailed survey and recommendations to curb illegal migration and safeguard indigenous tribes.

The students' body, led by president Dozi Tana Tara, proposed suspending the e-ILP system amid the crisis in Bangladesh, citing inadequate monitoring. They advocated for a single department to consolidate ILP issuance, digitization of records, and a dedicated management department.
