An agreement has been signed between the government of Manipur and Joint Committee on Inner Line permit System (JCILPS) which was spearheading the ongoing two month long movement demanding implementation of inner line permit system in Manipur, Chief Minister Okram Obibo Singh said today.
The chief minister told newspersons that the agreement was signed last night and included seven points with preamble.
The agreement said the government of Manipur and leaders of the JCILPS had agreed on the actions of the government to enact three laws for which the following bills shall be passed in the Manipur Legislative Assembly:
1) the protection of Manipur peoples Bill, 2015.
2) The Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms (Seventh Amendment) Bill, 2015 and
3) The Manipur Shop and Establishments (Second Amendment) Bill, 2015.
The government had also agreed to incorporate all the five point demands of the JCILPS placed before the government while passing the Bills, Singh said.
The government should associate the experts selected by JCILPS while framing the rules of the protection of Manipur Peoples Bill, 2015, according to the agreement.
The government should also constitute a Manipur State Population Commission to assess the problems and issues of demographic imbalance and other related matters so as to take up measures towards social harmony and peaceful development, it said.
A white paper on population influx should also be brought out by the state government within one year, it added.
