MLA Dr Ng Bijoy, MLA N Biren, IPAK chairman Sapamcha Jadumani and Ngamthang Luchingba Yaibilen Nepram Nungkangba graced the observation as chief guest, president and guest of honour respectively.
Dr Ng Bijoy, speaking at the occasion, said the demand for Inner Line Permit System gained momentum in the State thanks to the efforts invested by the association.
Today's observation unmistakably points to the present issue of ILPS in the State, he said.
The rising number of outsiders in the State can pose potential threats to the indigenous settlers of the land.
The MLA proposed setting up of a land bank system in both hill and valley areas to prevent encroachment.
