Panel plea on Sadar Hills
The Telegraph | Imphal, Aug. 26:
Manipur Assembly today adopted a resolution urging the state government to constitute a district boundary commission while chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh assured the House that his cabinet would discuss the possibility of re-introduction of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system in the state.
As agreed upon by the members yesterday, the House adopted a private member’s resolution moved by Okram Joy Singh of the Manipur Peoples Party urging the state government to constitute a district re-organisation commission for Manipur.
Inner Line Permit system was abolished in 1950 after Manipur’s merger with India in 1949. Members, both from the ruling and Opposition benches, expressed concern about the state’s future as the number of outsiders has increased to 7,05,488, outnumbering the indigenous population, which is 6.72 lakh.
