Imphal, July 14 2018:
United Golapati Hatta Development Council, Muslim Council Manipur, Manipur Muslim Welfare Organisation and JCILPS conducted a non local verification drive at Magao Hatta Athletic ground from 4 in the morning today.
Speaking to media persons, Muslim Council Manipur general secretary Haji Arafat Ali stated that the joint verification drive was conducted at every household of Golapati area.
A total of 464 people were verified and six individuals who could not produce any documents or valid papers were handed to Porompat PS, he said while adding that the drive was taken up in support of the Inner Line Permit System and to safeguard the native people of Manipur.
He stated that the news of some people giving shelter to outsiders is quite unfortunate and the drive was launched to eliminate the fear of influx of non locals, among the people.
The present generation should be responsible for safeguarding and protecting the indigenous people of the State, he conveyed while adding that similar drives will be continued in the near future.
JCILPS co convenor Kheiraudin Shah Mojingmayum stated that such drives for verification of non locals at Hatta Golapati area was conducted earlier in 2015 while pointing out that the movement towards finding out the non locals with invalid documents will be more effective if similar drives are taken up at every locality.
He stated that the intention of some people or organisation to victimize Meitei-Pangals is rather unfortunate and appealed not to create conflict among communities.
