Thoubal, September 03 2020:
The Inner Line Permit System being implemented in State since December 31, 2019 is not what the people had demanded, said JCILPS convenor YK Dhiren, seeking the attention of the State Government.
He was speaking at the 5th Leiron Chanba Numit (memorial service) of Sapam Robinhood held at the MMRC and Unity Park, Khangabok in Thoubal district today.
He further said that the ILP system being implemented now only gives tickets on entry to outsiders.
It should be rectified to fulfill the demands of the people.
There should be a ban on sale of land to outsiders and inclusion of outsiders in the voters list should be checked, he said.
Today's programme was attended by Robinhood's family members, JCILPS and other well wishers.
It may be mentioned here that 16-year-old Sapam Robinhood succumbed to injuries at Raj Medicity after a teargas shell hit him on his face during a pro-ILPS agitation at Minuthong on July 8, 2015 .
After a sustained people's agitation, three Bills were passed by the State Legislative Assembly regarding implementation of ILPS in the State on August 31, 2015 .
On September 1, 2015, JCILPS, JAC and family members agreed to claim Robinhood's body and his last rites were performed on September 3, 2015, at Awaching, a hill range of Nongmaijing hills in Imphal East district.
