Pressing the demand for implementation of ILPS, womenfolk of different localities staged sit-in-protests at their respective localities today.
During a protest demonstration, Ima Panthoibi Sana Keithel, Khwairamband Keithel secretary Kh Joymati said that entry of non-locals to the State must be regulated under a proper guideline.
Saying that students' agitation on ILPS implementation is justifiable, Joymati said that every section of the society must pledge support to the movement.
At sit-in-protest staged at Khurai Puthiba Leikai, Women Development Committee, Khurai president Laishram Manglembi said that enforcing ILPS would save Manipuris from being outnumbered by non-locals.
She also condemned police excesses meted out to student agitators.
