Briefing media persons in his Secretariat office after the meeting, Law and Legislative Affairs Minister Thoudam Debendra stated that drafting of the new Bill would be completed within the next couple of days.
While lauding the cooperation rendered by HCBA and AMBA legal luminaries, Debendra claimed that the Bill would be introduced in the State Assembly soon.
Responding to a query, Debendra maintained that the Government did not receive any official copies of the resolutions adopted at the public meeting held under the aegis of JCILPS at Iboyaima Shu-mang Leela Shanglen recently.
Nonetheless, the drafting committee has taken note of the resolutions published in media.
Moreover, the five points suggested by the JCILPS are already with the Government, Debendra added.
Following sustained mass movements for enforcement of ILPS or similar mechanism in Manipur, the MRVTMW Bill 2015 was passed by the Manipur Legislative Assembly in March this year.
JCILPS raised strong objections against the Bill starting from the very day it was passed before the State Assembly ultimately resolved to withdraw it during a special session held on July 15 .
