Imphal, July 16:
Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) today drew attention of the unchecked entry of outsiders in the state via flight at the Bir Tikendrajit International Airport previously known as Tulihal Airport at a time when the State Government has discontinued issuance of entry permits in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.
YK Dhiren of JCILPS while talking to media persons at their office at Keishampat, said the JCILPS is aware of entry of outsiders who have dispersed to multiple Quarantine Centres in the state in the wake of discontinuance of issue of ILP by the state Government from 18th March of this year. He sought legal actions against infiltrators who have entered the state without any valid document taking advantage of current global pandemic and pressed on the need for framing a proper Land owner/Tenant regulation in the state. YK Dhiren further questioned if there are any provisions for entry of outsiders during the Covid pandemic framed by the Govt. or has the law enforcement agencies posted at these entry points performing at their own discretion without any knowledge of the Govt.
There is also report of the DC Imphal West, Naorem Praveen Singh writing to the Special Secretary (Home), for issuance of proper direction to the office so that measures may be taken up to screen the entry of outsiders at these points.
It may be mentioned that the State Govt. vide its Gazette notification on 31st December, 2019 has approved the Bengal Eastern Regulation 1873, popularly known as the Inner Line Permit System (ILPS) in the state with effect from 1st January 2020. Multiple permit counters has been opened at entry points to the state ever since issuing four different types of permits ranging from 15 days stay to 3 year.
