Imphal, April 22 2018:
Asserting that the absence of an appropriate system or regulation to control the influx of illegal immigrants in Manipur has aggravated the adverse impacts of non-local influx in the State, JCILPS Students' Wing has decried that the State Government is not working with a political will to introduce an appropriate regulation/system to prevent incessant influx of immigrants into the State.
Addressing a press meet at the head office of JCILPS at Kwakeithel Konjeng Hazari Leikai in connection with identification of a non-local who entered illegally in the State yesterday, convenor of JCILPS Students' Wing Manjit Sarangthem decried the State Government's failure to introduce ILP system or a suitable mechanism to prevent the incessant influx of illegal immigrants into the State.
He went on to state that the crisis of tremendous rise of non-local population in the State has only deepened due to the delay in the introduction of a suitable mechanism to check the influx of illegal immigrants and non-local people into the State.
Observing that the State Government and all political parties present in the State should collectively work together across party lines for introduction of ILP system or a similar regulation, Manjit regretted that the Government and the political parties present in the State go on blaming each other for the failure to introduce the regulation or the mechanism till today when the immigrants' population has increased overwhelmingly in the State.
He further demanded the State Government to translate the assurances given in the past to draft a Bill for the introduction of a similar mechanism to control influx of illegal immigrants into the State.
He also conveyed that some volunteers of Thangmeiband United Club handed over one non-local who illegally entered the State yesterday to the JCILPS Students Wing today.
The illegal immigrant who identified himself as one Abdul Wahab (32) is from UP and he was vending cooking gas frame at Thangmeiband Khomdram Selungba Leikai.
He came along with four other non-locals, who were all suspected to be illegal immigrants.
But all the four were said to have fled from the spot, Manjit informed.
Informing that Abdul Wahab was staying in a rented house in Hatta, the convenor appealed to the house owner not to hide the four other suspected illegal immigrants and asked the .owner to bring them to the JCILPS office.
