Chief minister N Biren said that the public sentiment and movement in pursuance of the demand for conduct and implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is a good sign as it underscores seriousness of indigenous people on the issue of ever increasing infiltration of outsiders in Manipur.
To a query raised during a press conference held at his secretariat office, here on Friday regarding the agitation launched by some sections of people for implementation of NRC in Manipur, the chief minister pointed out that comprehending the likely threat to indigenous people of the land due to ever increasing population of migrants and immigrants, the Centre had already extend ed Inner Line Permit system to Manipur.
In continuation of the steps taken by the Centre, the state government will take up relevant measures to identify illegal immigrants in every nook and corner of Manipur and take up legal steps for deporting them, Biren assured.
