Imphal, September 04 2014: Volunteers of a local club today detained three non-locals who did not possess valid identity proof documents, at Sekmaijin Bazar and handed them over to Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) .

According to JCILPS Joint Secretary Ghanashyam, the non-locals, who are pressure cooker and gas stove mechanics, were trying to enter Sekmaijin village when volunteers of Sekmaijin Popular Club stopped them and verified their identities.

Two of them possessed xerox copies of voter IDs while one non-local could not produce any identity proof documents, he added.

According to the xerox voter IDs, they have been identified as Santosh Singh s/o Palak Singh of Champaran district Bihar, Dharmender Kumar s/o Chandeshor Singh from the same locality and the other who came there without ID card identified himself as Vikas Kumar Singh s/o Naren Singh from same locality.

The trio are staying in a private school located at Mantripukri and owned by one Basir Khan from Yairipok, he said.

Ghanashyam said that a driving license, issued by Imphal East District Transport Officer and valid from 2006 up to 2014, was recovered from a non-local.

JCILPS Student Wing Convenor Angamba said that the number of non locals is increasing day by day in the State and the State Government has not taken up any step to check it.

In the name of taking up national projects, many non-locals are brought in the State every day as workers, he said and added that the Labour Department must monitor it by issuing identity cards.

He said that most of the workers stay back in the State after the completion of their respective works.

Angamba also appealed to the house owners not to allow staying of non-locals who do have proper identity proof documents.

Saying that the house owners concerned must be responsible for any eventuality arising out of providing rooms and houses to unverified non-locals, he said that Xerox ID cards are not acceptable.

He also said that they would take up actions against the District Transport Officer, who provided the driving license to non-locals for money.
