Sit-in signals fresh unrest in Manipur : NGO for inner line permit
The Telegraph | Imphal, June 27:
Manipur is staring at another phase of public unrest, this time over implementation of the inner line permit (ILP) system to stop influx of migrants with an NGO, spearheading the campaign, launching an agitation today. An ILP restricts Indians from other states (non-Manipuris) from entering the state without permission where the system is in force.
The princely state of Manipur had a similar system to restrict entry of outsiders. The system was removed by the Centre in 1950, a year after Manipur became a part of the Indian Union. This system is in force in Nagaland, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh.
Quoting 2001 census reports, Jadumani said of the 22,93,896 population of Manipur migrants (outsiders) account for 7.04 lakh, while the Meitei population was 7.51 lakh and tribal population 6.7 lakh.
