The trio was paraded in the office of Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit (JCILPS) in presence of a media team this evening.

Speaking on the occasion, , Loitam Abothe, co-convener of JCILPS Students' Wing informed that the committee started a massive drive to verify non-locals staying in different parts of the State without proper identification documents and pointed out that the incident of pulling up of the three non-locals by volunteers of SPC is a clear reminder for the need of implementation of ILP system without any further delay.
