772

IMPHAL, December 14: The Joint Committee on implementation of Inner Line Permit system in Manipur has expressed displeasure over the failure of the State government to hand over a copy of the report prepared by the All Political Parties Committee, APPC in regard to the implementation of ILPS.

According to a release, it however lauded the effort of the government for instituting the committee formed by all political parties, following widespread protest by the people for implementation of ILPS to protect the indigenous peoples of Manipur.

It also lauded the effort of the all political party committee for preparing the report, which was submitted to the government of Manipur on December 11, adding that the people of the State must acknowledge the endeavour of the committee for coming out with the report within a short period of time.

The release recalled one of the agreements JCILPS had with the State government during its intense agitation, which was precisely about availing a copy of the recommendation furnished by the APPC. It is deplorable that the government has not issued a copy to JCILPS as agreed, the release added.

Further the release exuded confidence that the government of Manipur will positively discuss the issue of ILP in the ensuing Winter Session of the State Legislative Assembly in the interest of the people.

It also maintained that influx of non-locals without valid identification documents have been increasing day by day. Most of them come into the State via the two National Highways, and this needs regulation urgently, it added.

In this regards, JCILPS has been taking out verification drives in different parts of the State. During the drive, JCILPS in association with the local club members and meira paibis will take care regarding the convenience of the non-locals while moving in and out of the localities, starting from January 1, 2005, the release added.
